Requirements for your own website<\/h2>\n

Before you can launch your new website, you’ll first need a few technical requirements. You’ll need a domain, web space, and\u2014ideally\u2014a content management system to host and maintain your website’s content.<\/p>\n

Domain \u2013 the address of your website<\/h3>\n

The first thing you need for your new website is an address \u2013 the URL where your website will later be accessible, e.g., “www.my-little-bakery.com<\/strong>.” The address should be short and memorable. After all, you want potential customers who read the address to remember it later. Choose an address that has something to do with your product, service, or company name.<\/p>\n

There’s nothing wrong with using your company name exclusively as your domain (e.g., “www.marypoppins.com<\/strong>“). However, if you want to use your website to attract new customers to your business, you would have to rely on them already knowing your name. You can therefore combine your domain with your product or service (e.g., “www.marypoppins-nursery.com<\/strong>“). With such a domain, you have a better chance of being found later, even if customers search exclusively for “nursery.”<\/p>\n

If your offer is primarily aimed at local customers, you can also include the name of your city in your domain name (e.g. “www.marypoppins-vancouver.com<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n

Check online to see if the domain you’ve chosen is still available. Simply enter the domain into your browser’s address bar and see if there’s already a website at that address. If so, you can either change the domain extension (e.g., “.org<\/strong>” or “.biz<\/strong>” instead of “.com<\/strong>“) or vary the name (e.g., “www.nursery-marypoppins.com<\/strong>” instead of “www.marypoppins-nursery.com<\/strong>“).<\/p>\n

\"Web<\/p>\n

Once you have found a free domain that you like, that is short and fits your business, you can move on to the next step \u2013 choosing a host.<\/p>\n

Hoster \u2013 the home of your new website<\/h3>\n

For your new website to become visible online, it must be installed on a web server. Of course, you won’t have one at home or in your office (at least in most cases). Instead, you can rent a web server or web space from a so-called “hosting company.” There are several hosts to choose from. When making your choice, consider the following:<\/p>\n
