Starting your own website

If you have your own company then it is nowadays not more than normal to have your own website.Most products and services are nowadays almost always purchased online.

It can be quite difficult to start your own store online because you have to put a lot of work into it.To get you started, we're going to go over the best way to start creating a website in this blog post.

Hosting

To run your own website online you need an environment where this can happen, this is called hosting.If you have purchased a hosting package you get your own environment where you can place your files and your website can be found online.

However, the choice of a package is the first obstacle you encounter. For most people a Total package is sufficient.

If you want your website to run faster you can use the SSD package.This will make your website run faster because it uses an SSD drive instead of a normal drive.

Your own domain name

Besides the right hosting you also need your own domain name.You need to register one, which can be done very easily at MijnHostingPartner.nl.

After your domain registration you can immediately start installing, for example, WordPress.It is important to think about your domain extension.

If you sell a product internationally for example, then you should get a .com or a .net domain name.If you only want to sell products in the Netherlands or you have a Dutch site then it is best to get a .nl domain.

Choose the right CMS

Most websites nowadays are made using a Content Management System such as WordPress or Umbraco.It is important that you research which system suits you and which one you want to use.

For most people the first choice is WordPress.This is mainly due to its ease of use and the fact that it is a very flexible system.

You can put together anything from personal blogs to your own webshop.This is due to the many plug-ins and themes that are available. This gives you a very extensive possibility to make your website the way you want it.

If you prefer ASP.NET then there are also extensive possibilities for this, however Umbraco is the standout.Like WordPress this is a very flexible system and is more suitable for more extensive websites.

Your own mail address

Especially when you have a business website it is important that you have your own mail address.You should not use, for example, a Gmail or Hotmail address, that does not look professional.

If you want to create a mail address on your hosting it will automatically be linked to your domain name.This means that you get a mail address like info@JeDomeinNaam.nl, which looks a lot more professional.

You have the possibility to configure the mail completely to your own wishes so you can make extensive use of it.It is also possible to set up your mail accounts locally in the following way: mail setup.

Maintenance

It sometimes happens that people make their website and then don't do much about it.This is strongly discouraged because websites need to be maintained.
Especially with WordPress hosting it is very important to keep everything up to date.You don't have to regularly change your content or completely overhaul your website.

It's just a matter of logging into the admin area and then updating everything. This is actually with a push of a button.It is true that these updates are for the security of your website because there are leaks are closed.

You can also think of maintenance as making regular backups of your website.If it ever goes wrong or you can not undo a setting then you can just restore the last working version.
