Setting up website...

Last week I had to set up a web site for our project. It was my first experience in setting up a website. I will explain the steps involved in setting up the website.
There are two things that you need in order to setup a website, they are domain name and web space to host it. The domain name is a unique name identifying your website. This has to be registered with ICANN. Some companies help you register your domain name with ICANN for a nominal fee. The process for registration is first you should check that the domain name hasn’t already been registered, if it hasn’t already been selected, you pay and the domain name is registered on your behalf by the company.
Now that you have the domain name you need web space to host your website. There are lots of web hosting companies that will provide you the space for a yearly fee. This fee depends on lots of factors like the amount of space you need, the bandwidth you might need, & other facilities provided. You can browse around a select a hosting plan that’s suitable for you and pay for the web space.
Ok, so you have got your web space and the domain name, what do you do next? You need to provide the primary and secondary name server of your web hosting company to the company that registered your domain name. By doing so you let the world know where your domain is physically located. Once this information has propagated your web site should be visible i.e. provided you have uploaded some files. Most hosting companies provide the user with a control panel that makes your life easier in uploading and managing your files.
