Starting your own business, it requires determination to go ahead with what you think you do the best. Then position your niche to make money. To position and advertise yourself in the market you need a website. There is a general impression that creating a website is expensive and maintaining email ids would require expertise. Here are simple steps to how you can do it yourself.

Simple steps to create your own website. – Part 1

1. Book your domain on www.GoDaddy.com . There are other domain registrars like 123-reg or Network Solutions , Yahoo but I prefer www.GoDaddy.com

2. After you visit GoDaddy, change the country and region of your choice (top right hand corner). It is very easy. See screenshots below

3. Start Domain Search. Enter the website name you want to register. You should enter the name with a www. or .com. www.GoDaddy.com will suggest you various domain names available. In this instance, I am searching for availability of domain cmamanmohan either .com or .net

So I enter the domain name in the box provided and hit Go.

There are many suggestions available for me to decide. If the domain name is already booked, then start your search again with a new name.

4. After you select your domain name, click on “Add and Proceed to Checkout”. GoDaddy will prompt you to book for related domain name with .net or .org. So you have the option to buy them at this instance.

At this instance, I am clicking on “No Thanks” and proceeding further. This will take me to the checkout page, where I make the payment and register my domain name.

This is the first step of booking your own domain name and setting up your own website.
