To start a website, you'll need both a domain name and a website host to put your website on the Internet. You can obtain your domain name from a registrar and use a different company to host your site. There are hundreds of registrars who can provide you with a domain name. However, you might find it more convenient to use a single company that provides the domain and the hosting. Many times, with fierce competition, hosting companies will offer "free domain for life," which is a another compelling argument in favor of working with just that one company. 

At this point, I assume you have a domain name and a web host selected. If not, refer back to the earlier article, Start a Web Site.

For this "simple site" example, I'll use JustHost.com and their "Site Builder" application. You might find it useful to take advantage of the 250 videos in their library of tutorials that will explain details of the steps to build a site. Their searchable knowledge base is helpful too.

To build a complex site, refer back to the Control Panel and select "RVSiteBuilder." As before, you might want to take advantage of the videos in their library of tutorials. In this case, however, the construction is not quite so intuitive, and a preview of the necessary steps is important.
