How to Easily Build a Website and Go Live

Purchase virtual hosting and domain

The first step in building a website is to purchase a virtual host and a domain. The virtual host is used to store website files, while the domain is the address entered by users when accessing the website. The prices of virtual hosting and domain vary based on configuration and type, usually ranging from tens to thousands of yuan. After purchase, you can set relevant parameters in the management panel.

Create website files

You can create a simple website file using various professional web page editing tools or directly write it in a notepad. When saving the file, make sure the file name is index.html so that the website homepage can be displayed correctly.

Upload files to virtual host

Upload the created website files to the purchased virtual host. In the virtual host's management panel, go to the file management menu, select upload, and upload the index.html file to the virtual host.

Parse and bind the domain

Bind the purchased domain in the virtual host management panel and perform domain parsing in the domain management panel. Add an A record and fill in the IP address of the virtual host. Once submitted, the domain parsing will be completed.

It should be noted that when purchasing a domain name, personal or company information needs to be provided for real-name authentication, and the domain name can only be used after the authentication is approved. Some domain names with special suffixes or service providers may not require real-name authentication, and specific operations should be carried out according to the merchant's regulations.

By following the above steps, you can access the website by entering the registered domain name in the browser. The website content is the content written in the index.html file. If you need to modify the content, simply edit the file and upload it again.

Building a simple website and putting it online is not complicated, but more complex websites involve professional knowledge such as databases. If you have a need to learn website development, feel free to contact me for guidance.
