Do you want to spend your whole marketing budget and months of your time on a sophisticated website or do you want to have your website up and running in an hour?... and save the rest of the marketing budget for your website promotion.

There has been a time, 10 years ago or so, when creating a website was a big and complicated project, which took too much time and cost money.

For some reason, the idea that creating a website is a costly and long process still lives. However, after 10 years of fast technological development, it is not true any more. Far from it.

In this short guide to building a website for complete beginners, I will show you how you can easily create your website in an hour.

What you don't need:

an expensive web designerany special tech helpany programmerstoo much time & much money

If you have nothing, you can have your first website up and running in just 3 easy steps:

Find the hosting company which supports Fantastico and CPanel.Get your domain name and hostingAutomatically install your website

Before all this, make sure you know what is your website about. Prepare your main keywords for your market, the website title and subtitle, and a website name (a domain name).

The Right Hosting Company

First, search for a web hosting company, which supports Fantastico and cPanel. These tools help you to install any software that you would need. Don't worry, it is easy.

Where to start? Simple search for "web hosting fantastico cPanel" on Google (without quotes).

If you already have a web hosting, make sure Fantastico is there. Ask their tech help.

Domain Name And Hosting Account

Get your domain name and create a hosting account. The reputable hosting companies have very good software wizards, which guide you step by step. It is just point and click. There is no tech stuff involved.

If you are just starting up, go for the simplest hosting account possible. There is no need to spend more money now. You can upgrade later if necessary.

Automatically Install Your Website

When you have your hosting account ready, you can create a website. It is very straightforward. In your account, in the main screen (this is the cPanel screen), click on Fantastico icon.

There you will find pre-built software packages for you to install and use immediately (website builders). I recommend installing WordPress. It is widely used, easy to manage for beginners, and reliable.

If you need more detailed instructions search for "installing WordPress using Fantastico video" (without quotes), and you will find very detailed videos that will guide you through the process.

And that is it - you have created your new website!

Last Words

A quick tip: if you get stuck in any step, just simple type "<your problem description> video" into Google and find the solution immediately.

This simple guide to building a website is the easiest way to start your online business today. There is no need to be intimidated by the technical issues, simply because there are none!

At this point, you are ready to get a domain name, get web hosting, and build a web site.

If you have never built a web site, even the very thought of it can be daunting, but do not let that stop you. Remember, without your own web site, you do not really have your own business.

Follow these steps:

1) Search online for a web host. Email me and I will send you the one I use. Although it may be tempting to find the absolutely cheapest one on the market, you do tend to get what you pay for in web hosting. Think about it this way: if you are only paying per month for hosting, how much support can they feasibly offer you if you have questions? Just keep that in mind. If you are not familiar with html, you probably should go with a web host that provides a site builder or web templates--with those you just basically type into a form what you want to appear on the web site and then hit 'enter'. If you are familiar with html, or if you want to learn, Frontpage or Dreamweaver is probably a good bet. My understanding is that Dreamweaver has a 30 day free trial you can use to see if you like it; search online for the current web address for that. I personally use Frontpage and it is great for my needs.

2) Choose a domain name. You can probably get one through the web hosting company you choose for a reasonable price. Many of the companies will give you one free if you pay for a year upfront; they will usually give you a discount if you pay in advance, also. Keep these things in mind: if you are going to be giving out your web site address offline a lot, you want to go with something that is all one word, like: secretsofinternetsuccess dot com. If you are less concerned about people typing it in, but want better search engine results long term, you are better off placing a dash between each word like this: secrets-of-internet-success dot com.

In Step 12: what to put on your web site.
