Create a Website 101 - How to Guide

Every website must have a domain name. That is how people find you on the Internet. The domain name is also referred to as the URL. That stands for Universal Resource Locator.

Your domain name must be registered with a domain registrar and a fee is charged for this service. Each year it must be renewed or you will lose the use of it.

It is very important to choose a good domain name for your website. It should be short so people can remember it and so it is easy to type into a web browser.
