Once upon a time, website development was solely the lot of competent technical specialists and individual enthusiasts. Building a static site with just a few pages required knowledge of HTML and CSS. If you needed to add dynamic content, you had to learn one of the programming languages. But those days are over. Today, anyone who does not have special knowledge can create a website in a day, or even in a few hours.
It is necessary
- - modern browser;
- - Internet connection;
- - a small amount of money on an electronic wallet, plastic card (with the ability to pay via the Internet) or in cash (you need to have access to payment terminals).
Instructions
Step 1
Find a hosting service and register a hosting account. Use the directory of hosting providers located at https://hostobzor.ru, to find the optimal tariff plan. Go to the service provider's website and make sure that it accepts payment in a way that is available to you. Find information about how long after payment the account is activated (on many services, the account is activated instantly). Go through the registration procedure, pay for hosting. If payment is made through electronic payment systems, it will take no more than five minutes to purchase a hosting
Step 2
Register a domain name. Select a domain registration service and create an account on it. Fund your user account in an accessible way. Find an acceptable and free name. Register your chosen domain. It is more profitable to register domains not directly with registrars, but with their resellers. Often the prices differ significantly, while the domain is physically maintained by the registrar, and the reseller provides technical support. One of the lowest prices, a wide selection of zones and instant registration of domain names is provided by the service https://registerme.ru, which is a reseller of an accredited registrar https://r01.ru. Registering an account, and then a domain, takes no more than 10 minutes (when paying for services with electronic money or credit card)
Step 3
Attach a domain to your hosting. Go to your hosting account control panel. Go to the domain management section. Add the registered domain to the list of supported domains. Obtain the addresses of the DNS servers serving the added domain. They can be listed in the control panel or on the hoster's website. Go to the account panel of the domain registration service. Change the list of DNS servers of the registered domain to the one obtained from the hosting provider. The domain delegation process will begin.
Step 4
Download the software distributions on the basis of which the resource will function. Select the CMS for the main site. Drupal is great as a universal CMS suitable for building sites of various types. The Drupal distribution is available for download at https://drupal.org.

Decide if your site needs a forum. Download its distribution kit if necessary. One of the leading free forums is SMF, available for download a
Step 5
Wait for the domain delegation. The delegation process can take 6-8 hours. At this time, read the instructions for installing the CMS, forum, etc.
Step 6
Install a CMS, forum, blog or wiki engine.
Step 7
Set up CMS, forum or other systems. Download and install suitable themes for the site and forum. Customize the friendly URL format. Create user groups. Create sections on the forum. This completes the process of creating a website. Next, you should start filling the resource with information and attracting users to the forum.
