Sometimes it may seem everybody but you has a website. And although that’s not entirely true, it is true that more and more people everyday are putting up their website on the world wide web. If you want to learn how to start a website, then this article will show you how to get started.

The first thing you need is a domain name. A domain name is the name you see in the address bar, such as google.com. google.com is a domain name. You will want to visit a domain registrar (you can find any number of registrars with a quick google search) and find a domain you like that is not already in use.

When you have registered your domain name, then you will want to setup a web hosting account. Once again, you can use the services of google to find the best web hosting company for your purposes.

The next step is the most exciting step. Unlike a few years ago, you no longer have to know HTML code to be able to create a website. Today you can use any of the numerous wysiwyg (what you see is what you get) web editors. With a wysiwyg editor you can create a website as easy as writing a letter in Microsoft Word.

You can also find a huge amount of free web templates available on the Internet. Simply search for free templates, find one you like, open it up in your new wysiwyg editor and customize it with your personalized content or articles.

The final step is to take your finished product and upload it to your web space with an ftp program. FTP programs are easy to use and easy to find, just make use of google again and find one that will do the job for you.

Once your site goes live, your friends will be asking you how to start a website.
