Imagine you are given a chance to set up a physical store.
Do you realize what you will be doing is in fact the same as setting up a website?
LEARN MORE from the infographic below!
1) Get a Web Hosting Provider
Finding a patch of land to build your store is just like looking for a patch of online land to place your website and emails on.
This online land is called web hosting; something similar to a rented land which comes with a monthly/yearly fee.
2) Register a Domain Name
Next you need to get your store a name (brand) so that people can recognize and find it.
This is the same as registering a domain name (eg: yourcompany.com) for your website from a web hosting provider or domain registrar.
3) Build a Website
You need a blueprint and a contractor to build your physical store, just like a website needs a layout plan and a web designer to build it.
4) Create Email Accounts
After your hosting account is set up, create @yourcompany.com email accounts using the hosting control panel.
In web hosting, an email service is similar to a letterbox and super fast carrier pigeons.
