Learning how to make your own website is no longer difficult. With the advent of WYSIWYG website builders, content management systems and especially General Public License software (GPL) it is now easier than ever to make your own website.

You don’t need to rely of expensive web designers or IT professionals. You don’t need to be internet savvy and neither do you need a background in programming or html coding. Today you can learn how to make your own website quickly, easily and most importantly affordably. You can also get web design tutorials that will walk you through each step for you, making the process even easier.

The following three simple steps are all you need to make an online appearance without paying a fortune.

Step One: Purchase a domain name. There are several places you can purchase your domain from and for a reputable service it will cost you between $9.99-$35 USD. A warning about purchasing your domain from cheaper places like Go Daddy.

Many spammers use these services so Google have cottoned on and banned sites with domains from Go Daddy. You don’t want to run the risk of not being able to get ranked on Google since this is such a large search engine. We use Domain Orb because they are fast and cheap at $9.99 a domain. There are many others you can choose from by doing a search

Step Two: The second step is to acquire a web host. There are literally thousands of web hosting services to choose from each offering a variety of packages to choose from. You can get free hosting, which is ok for personal sites, but if you want proper search engine optimized websites, are using your site to promote something or make money from, you need a full service web host with a good reputation for customer service, uptime and troubleshooting turn around time.

We use Hostgator for this as they offer packages from as little at $8 a month for unlimited hosting and it comes with your own content management system to make your own website. You can also easily download pre-designed we templates. The technical support turnaround has been phenomenal for us from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

Step Three: Finally you must build your website. You are going to need to learn how to make your own website using either a website builder, html editor, content management system, website design software, or general public license software (GPL or GPU) which offers free and paid for web templates.

Each comes with its own pros and cons price tags and learning curve. If you want to make your own website easy and fast you’ll want to go with GPL as you won’t need to do any graphic design or even learn how to design a website. We recommend using the Simply New Web System as you get a tutorial with step by step instructions and whole lot of free templates to choose from. It will only cost you $147 other systems of this nature with tutorials will cost you round $299.
