All the steps to build a professional site or to build a site for free
Websites like Google and Yahoo have proved that websites can be one of the biggest money makers.
Which is why billions of websites have emerged since WWW came into being. If you are new to the world of internet, you may probably not know how to build a website and what are the services essential to have in case you wish to have a professional website. You may have already seen by now that there are hundreds of websites which will provide you free website, but there are many restrictions on the type of website that these websites will provide you. 1. They are full of ads. 2. You will get a website with a url such as http://yourdomain.websitename.com. instead of what you would want such as http://yourdomain.com. 3. You won't earn much through the ads you place on this website. Which is why it is recommended to have a professional site instead of the free ones. But what are the things which you will want to build your first professional website. We have listed the essentials to building a professional site here on this page.
1. A Domain Name
The most essential thing which you will need to make your presence felt on the interet is a domain name which would suit your needs and should reflect the websites topic. Many websites on the net will help you buy a domain name. If you need to purchase a domain, all you need to do is to go to the following websites listed in the web hosting account section and purchase a domain from them. There are many plans being offered by these hosting companies and you may even end up in getting a free domain if you purchase one of the web hosting plans of these websites. Check IPOWER, Host Monster as well as Ultra Web Hosting.
2. A Hosting Account
You will need a hosting account where you will host your website so that it is available to all the people from all over the world all the time. There are many internet website hosting providers on the internet and only few of them are good enough. We have listed those websites here.
1. IPOWER Web Hosting Inc. [10/10]
Ipower is one of the best web hosting sites that you will find on the net. It provides you with 1500 GB of storage space, 15000 GB monthly bandwidth and 2500 free Business email addresses to start with.

If you were to ask any freelancer to build these for your website, I am sure you would be asked to pay at least $300 for all these. Have a doubt? Go to http://www.makmoon.com/forum which is a forum that I have made with the help of IPOWER where I have listed many freelancers and just post a project in the project section asking to build these services and see the amount the freelancers ask you to pay.

3. A Website
This is the most important of the lot as you won't be able to use the other two services and your money would go down the drain if you do not have the website to host on the domain name that you have purchased. There are two options available to webmasters in case they wish to have a website built. The first one is of course, that they make it all by themselves or hire someone in the locality offline to do it for them. This would waste a lot of your time as well as a lot of your money as the second option would cost you much less both in terms of money and the time spent. So, what is the second option?? Well, the second option is to get the website built with the help of freelance professionals all over the world and get your website built from professionals who are all trying to get your project and you can of course, select the lowest bidder or the one who looks to be the most professional and requires the least time. It is upto you. You can hire the freelancers by posting your project on the freelance websites such as those mentioned in the freelance section of this site.
