Rookie's Webpage Creation Tutorial
In general, creating a website involves four steps: registering a domain name, applying for virtual hosting, making web pages, and promoting the website.
Registering a Domain Name:
Firstly, you need to register your domain. It is advisable to choose .com (international domain) or .cn (domestic domain). The domain should not be too long, should have some significance, and should be easy to remember. Good domains are becoming scarce now, so you can creatively combine numbers, English words, and pinyin. You can add i, e, 51, ok, hao, 88, 163, etc., before or after the domain to come up with many good combinations. After thinking of a domain name, you can check its availability at http://www.b86.net. If it cannot be registered, it means someone has already taken it. If it can be registered, congratulations! Good domains are highly sought after, so you must act quickly.
Applying for Virtual Hosting:
After obtaining your domain as the address, you will need a space to build your "house" or establish your "company," which is essentially the virtual host. Typically, virtual host providers offer users virtual host spaces ranging from 50M, 100M, to 200M. For most corporate websites, selecting a virtual host space around 150M-300M would suffice. When purchasing a virtual host, consider several aspects: after-sales service, stability, and access speed. One crucial factor is the speed of the virtual host. If your customers or potential visitors are mainly from the north, you can prioritize the China Unicom data center space. If they are mainly from the south, then telecommunication space should be considered first. For a nationwide audience, it is recommended to use an intelligent dual-line host.

Making Web Pages:
Friends who want to learn how to create a website or already have some foundation can choose dedicated software like Dreamweaver or FrontPage to create their web pages.
For those who wish to make a website for themselves or their company but do not plan to develop in this field, you can either hire someone to do it for you or use a site-building box to create the website! Hiring someone to create the website could cost anywhere from 2000 to 200,000 RMB, depending on your requirements.

Website Promotion:
To enable customers to find your website, entrepreneurs must include their companies in web search engines. If you have just started your business, it may take several months for search engines to find your company. However, if you use paid systems like baidu.com and Google.com, customers can immediately see your website.
"Although being among the top 10 search results is very important, there is no need to be in the first position." Many customers compare by looking at the top 10 search results; there is not much difference between the first and tenth positions. However, the cost to be in the first position is much higher."
