Make Sure You Have All Your Facts Together When Creating Websites

By Iva Cannon


With the way the world is turning out everyone needs to have some basic knowledge of computers and websites. Especially if one is in a business and trying to reach potential customers all over the world. This is where creating websites can be very beneficial. For those that are new to this, don't worry there are so many sites that are willing to help set it up for a minimal fee each month.

The first thing that needs to be done is to get a domain name. This is a name that will be given to the site and one will have to pay an annual fee in order for that name to be registered. This will also ensure that no one else can use that name besides you. This does not mean that one will be getting a website it is more like having to register a business and does not mean one will be getting a premise with it.

The minimum requirement to run WordPress is having a PHP, which is a popular general purpose scripting language of 5.4 or larger. The other is having a MySQL which is a language for accessing, adding and managing content in databases. It is proven to be quick in processing, easy to use as well as flexible and reliable. This needs to be greater than 5.5 for this program to run smoothly.

If one is considering on having a hyphenated name there can be some good and bad sides to it. It can be very easy to forget that hyphens are added when typing and users might just land up on the opponent's site instead. Truth be told having to type them in is a real pain!

The positive side is that the search engines can find the keywords quicker and it will ensure the site is more prominent in the search results. Having thought this all through there is still a chance that the name one has chosen is unavailable and a name might have to be chosen for one instead. Having an org, net or com at the end of the choice is not that straightforward either. If the business is more for the local community the countries specific domain will be used. If it can be used for an international audience another domain will be added.

Choosing the right WebHost is important. This is essentially a company that helps the computer connect to the internet where everyone will have access to the pages. One will need to sign up for an account and in some instances will be asked to pay a small fee.

A widget is a term used for a part of a program interface that uses the computers graphic capabilities. It helps the user to understand a complicated command language that could be very time consuming to learn. A plugin is a way to add and expand a function that already exists in the programme. These help to custom features and functions so that one's site can meet particular needs.

If the business is going to sell a product one will need to have a way to collect the credit card information or PayPal. This will need to be very secure otherwise no one will want to use it. There are many sites that will give one a step by step tutorial on how to include this on to the webpage.
