Having a website is like having a home in the cyber world. Here in a website is where you store all your social media links. A website can build your brand awareness, showcasing your product or services, apart of free advertising for your business and what about your competitors they have a website too. As a starter in online business on a small business scale not only you want to create income you also want to create value for your customers.
There so many websites that you can build for free and without any technical knowledge. You can just drag and drop the element and your website is ready. Of course you can hire for services to build your website but the cost are sometimes too much with limited features unless you are willing to pay for each features that you want in your website.
Let me guide you how to build your own website for free or at very minimal fees to have your own domain and hosting services.
WHAT IS DOMAIN In the earlier section of this topic i mentioned that a website is like a having a home in the cyber world, when you have a home you have to have an address so in the cyber world the address is known as domain name. Anytime anyone wants to go to your website they just have to type your website domain name in the search engine accurately to go direct to your website.
AND WHAT IS HOSTING Where domain is the address of your home in the cyber world Hosting is the land that you build your home in the cyber world. Can you see the difference.
Now since we are building our website on a free platform your domain will have the website builder as well in your free domain name and you need not to worry about the hosting because the website builder has already subscribe the hosting for their website to let you build your website on their platform. Of course some very features will not be available to use unless you upgrade your website to get your own domain name and move out from their platform to have your own website to be host by. Bare in mind that the purpose of this information that I am giving you is to help you to start your online business so that you can start to create your sources of income and giving you the hands on of your website without any investment and some sophisticated terms that might discourage you from venturing further to have an online business.
This website I am building is free and thanks to Weebly.com for providing this service and simplicity of the layout with lots of features, format and functions that is good enough to have a versatile and interesting website. Last but not least if this website can reach you that means it functional.
