| How to Create a WordPress Blog. Step by Step Guide for Beginners |
There was no way to open the website without knowing the coding. But nowadays one goes very easily through different platforms. For example: WordPress, Blogger, Joomla, Dropal, etc.
Websites can be created for free, but they are not professional. However, you can create a professional quality news or blog website by spending a little money.
You may have heard from many people that you can earn money through website. This article can help you with that. We can create a beautiful website by following a few steps. Let's get started.
Purchase a domain for a news or blog site
Domain name usually refers to the name or address of a website. For example: www.google.com Here google.com is the domain name.
You also need to purchase a domain name, the name or address through which visitors will enter your site. A good knowledge of domain names is required before creating a website.
So first you can read this post about what domain names are and why they are used. Domain names are extremely important for a website.
So
here are the things to keep in mind before purchasing a domain name. Such as:
Top Level Domain: Top level domain means that the next part of the dot (.) Of the domain name will be .com / .net / .org / .info etc.
When purchasing a domain, purchase a domain with these extensions (.com / .net / .org / .info). There are some free domains that do not use, such as: .tk / .me / .ga / .ml etc.
People visit or click more on top level domains. So these domains are ahead of Google ranking.
Short Name: Choose a beautiful and short domain name. However, try to highlight your website in this short name.
Memorable: Give a name that visitors can easily remember. So that they can access your site directly.
Easy to say and write: Names that are easy to say and write should be chosen. This will allow users to easily share your website with others.
Niche (niche / topic): Related Names: Select a related name for the type of website you want to create. You can also give your name if you want or any others name. But it should never be for professional work.
Hosting for website creation
Simply put, hosting is the place or memory of website files (audio, video, pictures, articles, etc.).
I think this is the most important thing for a website. And we Bangladeshis make mistakes here. As a result, we cannot go very far.
There are many hosting companies in our country that offer
5/10/20 GB or unlimited hosting at low prices. Most of them do not provide good
service.
Moreover, except for a couple of companies, most of them fail to provide good quality hosting services. As a result, the sites are offline or do not get good speed.
Which is the main reason for losing Google rankings and visitors. So try to take hosting services from a good company.
If you have a dual currency card, you can get domain and hosting from SiteGround, Hostinger, Bluehost or Namecheap. These are the best domain hosting companies in the world.
If you do not have a dual currency card, you can also buy domain and hosting through bKash, Rocket or other online payments in Bangladesh.
There are a handful of the best domain hosting companies in Bangladesh. In it I will recommend Xeonbd. They are coming up with quite a good service with a reputation.
We have a detailed post about hosting. Hope this
post will help you to know more. See details about hosting here.
Connecting domain hosting to create a website
Domain hosting can be purchased from different companies.
Then we have to connect domain hosting to create our website.
But now most companies offer domain hosting packages at the
same time. Eglo mostly connects automatically. That means there is no need to
connect when buying domain hosting together.
You can connect a domain hosting by following the rules below. Almost the same procedure for almost all companies.
Note that in order to add domain hosting, you need to update the domain name server with the hosting name server.
First you need to enter the Domain Control Panel.
Find the Nameserver field.
Then click on Custom Nameserver.
Finally, enter your hosting's name server in Nameserver1 and
Nameserver2 (this will be notified by the hosting company by mail).

Lastly, select Menu Location in Menu Settings »Display
location. I will create the menu as the main menu. So I selected the Primary
Menu.
When you finally click the Save Menu, the menu will be
created.
Basic Settings
You need to configure some important settings to make your news or blog website look beautiful.
First, go to Settings »General Settings. You can see many options here. But for now, you just have to set up Site Title and Tagline.
