via Udemy

Overview

This course helps you take the very first steps in creating a new website from choosing the name to setting up hosting.

What you'll learn:
  • Effectively choose a domain name
  • Use a tool for domain name brainstorming

  • Use FTP to backup the website files
  • Use phpMyAdmin to backup the WordPress database

As a website investor I have owned and setup web hosting for literally hundreds of websites. In this course, the focus is on the end result. You will go through a fast, straightforward process to choose a new domain (website name), get the domain setup on a web hosting account and learn the basics of web hosting that you will need to know to operate your site. (Oh, and we’ll install WordPress!)

  • It will be fast and efficient
  • It will be a high quality web hosting provider
  • It will be cost effective
  • What you learn will apply to any future websites you may buy or create

So what exactly will you learn?

  • The do’s and don’ts in choosing a domain name
  • The best tool for brainstorming names and finding whether they are available
  • How to setup web hosting
  • How to associate the domain with the web host
  • How to setup an email account for the web site
  • How to install WordPress with the famous 1-click installation
  • How to install Filezilla FTP software and use it
  • And much more…

Is This For You?

That depends. This is for beginners. If you haven’t setup web hosting or purchased a domain before, this is probably the best place to start.

If you don’t have an idea for a website in mind yet, and want to learn the process before you commit, this is also for you.
