How can I create my own website?
Setting up a website is an important step for many businesses and individuals, because a website can help you realize your dreams for many different things. For example, you can create a website for your career start as an indie author. You can set up a website for your freelance business. Or you can create a website for your organization or business. There are no limits to what you can do when it comes to creating websites. And at MijnHostingPartner.nl you can have everything in one package ready for you at an affordable price. Let's see what you need to start your own website!
Choosing a domain name can be tricky
If you already have an existing name for your business or vision, you can make it easy. Just check our domain name configurator to see if it's still available. If it is, you can proceed to the next section. If not, you'll have to think a little longer. The domain name is an important decision, but one that you won't want to give up so easily. First of all, a domain name can only be purchased for a full year. And of course, it has to be in line with your vision. As a budding indie author, you can, of course, choose your author name. Or the first name of your book. But what if you use a different title or series of titles in a few years? Then, for example, the domain name won't fit anymore. For this reason, it is important to match the domain name not only for the project itself. But also future-proof it in a certain sense.
After all, a domain name accumulates history and notoriety during its lifetime. In terms of authority with the various search engines and with users of your site. If you change your domain name, there's a very good chance you'll be starting from scratch. Therefore, it is not desirable to change it frequently.
Also, a domain name should be short. With a maximum of 2 to 3 terms or words. This is easier to type and can be easily passed to the phone. It is also important that the text is kept professional and that many numbers and strange characters are avoided.
Finally, there is the question of which extension to choose. However, this may depend entirely on the country you will be operating in and the language you will be using. English and the international market is of course .com, and on Dutch soil simply .nl. The other domain name extensions are often a nice addition, or if your desired domain name is already taken.
Choosing hosting is easy and fast at MijnHostingPartner.nl
Choosing hosting is a simple task at MijnHostingPartner.nl, for a package where you can do almost anything, the choice is a Total Hosting package, or a SSD Total package. With these two packages you can run your website, database, email and everything else that goes with it. The two differences between these two packages are that MariaDB databases are possible under the SSD Total package, and that your website will be available faster with the SSD package. This is because the data or files from your website can be loaded more easily through the solid state drives than through the traditional hard drives that you have in the total package.
Moreover, you can also opt for a content management system that uses ASP.NET or .NET Core, for this you need to take a closer look at our .NET Core packages. This is the better solution for a website built with it.
When choosing the underlying technology, you can make it as difficult as you like
To ensure that you actually get a website, you need to program it yourself or outsource it to an agency like MijnWebdesignPartner.nl. Or you can use a content management system yourself. Various content management systems make it easy for you to create a website. With WordPress, for example, you can easily choose a theme that allows you to change the layout and design of your website with the click of a button.
Moreover, you can also edit your website completely visually. So, there is no need to dive into the website code to find a solution to your problem. There are many different content management systems, all of which have their own advantages, but the most commonly chosen options for beginners are WordPress or Joomla. With that being said, WordPress has become the most popular choice over the years. With the latest update, it's now easy to customize your website. Where before you could only choose a global theme that configured everything for you, now you can edit individual blocks for your site. No more need for a website editor to make your website your own.
Creating content for your website, that's where most of your time is spent
Every website needs content, no matter what type of website you want to create. Whether you want to create a web store with products, a blog with interesting articles or fill your homepage with an inviting text. Content needs to be in the form of images and text. Preferably a combination of the two. With a website you are trying to captivate people, keep them and get them to convert. Be it a purchase on your website itself, a click on an ad or reading more of your articles. That's basically what a website is for.
Therefore, creating and managing content is always a day job for a website and is the most time consuming part of a website. Design and nice colors are not everything. If the content is not strong enough, you will lose the potential customer. So take the time to create interesting content for your visitors. And try to publish it as often as possible, as long as you can keep the quality high. This will also help your Google ranking, that is, your position in the natural search engine results. And it will also ensure higher customer satisfaction.
That's where the steps to building your own website come into play. Start now with your own website at MijnHostingPartner.nl at a great price. And host your domain name and website for a year for less than a week's purchase!
