Creating a website seems like a daunting task. It’s honestly not as difficult as it seems. To create a website, you need three things: a domain name (also called a website address), a hosting plan (meaning you pay a company to “store” all of the files that you need to maintain your website, and a site-building software (unless you know how to write code).

The best domain and hosting company I have found so far is Go Daddy. They offer excellent customer service, and have always been able to help me with any questions I’ve had. If you purchase your hosting plan and domain name in the same transaction, your domain is just $1.99 (usually up to $9.99, if purchased without a hosting plan). Go Daddy also offers a platform that will allow you to set up a store on your website. Get your own online store — in minutes! GoDaddy.com Quick Shopping Cart®
