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 designer
any special tech help
any programmers
too 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 hosting
Automatically 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!
