Step by Step Guide: Host your own website.
In this technical era, everyone has at least once in their life thought about creating a website and showcasing it to the world. Is it your pet project? A business idea you want to test? Or just a skill you you want to acquire for future use? A lot of non technical people use Wordpress, Wix or other providers to host their content, but if you need your own domain, you would have to pay for it.
Below is the step by step guide of how we hosted our website from scratch.
Let’s start.
Get a domain
First step is to buy a domain from a domain registrar. Domain registrar are basically middlemen that manages the domain name registration process with the respective registries like .com, .in, .ca etc. This is also a place where you can check the possible domains available and do the cost vs name analysis as shown in the image below. The domain registrar we used is Godaddy.com. You can find more information here about how to buy a domain.
