The Internet is firmly included in our lives. The number of sites is growing at an unprecedented rate every day. Nowadays, not only advanced users have their own pages on the Internet, but even those who quite recently had no idea what their own page on the global network was. What do you need to know to place your page on the Internet?
It is necessary
- Ability to use FTP client
- File manager skills
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need to create this very page. Now there is a rich variety of different editors and tutorials with the help of which even a beginner can become a good website builder over time. Particular attention should be paid to training video courses, because in video format, the material is assimilated an order of magnitude faster
Step 2
After the site is created, you need to give it a name. A name on the Internet means an address where you can find your resource among a huge variety of others. Such a name is called a domain or just a domain.
Step 3
You may have heard of some second and third level domains. What it is? A second-level domain means that the name of your site in the address will be immediately after the letters “www”, for example, “www.vashdomen.ru”, where “vashdomen” is your domain name.
Step 4
Third-level domain names mean that your site name will be assigned to someone else's name. Usually, third-level domains provide free services, and the site address in this case will look like this: “www.company.vashdomen.ru”, where “company” is the name of the service that gave you the domain.
Step 5
If you want to be sure that no one will steal or take away your domain, definitely use paid domain registration services. Such services are also called domain registrars. With their help, you can choose a unique name for your site.
Step 6
After the domain is assigned to the site, you need to think about where to host your site. On the Internet, most sites are hosted on so-called hosting. Hosting is a round-the-clock server that stores website files and provides access to them from the network.
Step 7
Do not rush to register on the first hosting you come across. If you plan to develop your resource in the future, then select several hosting options and read the reviews of those who have used them before. Sometimes even a very decent-looking service can turn out to be completely useless, dealing with it, you would waste your time and money.
Step 8
Hosting services can also be free. However, in these cases, no one will give you a guarantee that tomorrow your site will not disappear and will not work without interruptions. However, it makes sense to use free hosting at the initial stage, when you are just mastering the technology of placing a site on the network.
Step 9
After registering for the hosting, you will be given the data for entering the user panel of the hoster, DNS addresses, as well as data for FTP connection.
Step 10
You will need the DNS addresses obtained from the hosting provider to bind the domain name to the storage location of your site. Those. you register DNS in the control panel of your domain names and after placing the site on the hosting, your pages will be visible in the Internet space.
Step 11
FTP data will be required for direct placement of the finished resource on the hosting. Usually, for this, a folder with the name of your site (if there are several domain names) is created on the hosting server's server, into which all created pages are copied.
Step 12
After placing the site files on the hosting, you can try to type its Internet address and check the resource's performance. However, if you do this on the same day with the addition of DNS data to the panel of the domain name registrar service, then nothing may be found at the specified address. Don't worry, the new domain name was simply not linked to your hosting provider.
