How to Create Your First Website to Practice DM

Creating a website is the best way to learn digital marketing. In this lesson we are going to learn about how to create your first website:
The best way to go about learning digital marketing is registering your own domain name – which is the most important component of your brand. Once you get your domain name, get a web hosting account and install a content management system in it. WordPress is the best CMS.

Buy a Domain Name for $0.99:

After you buy a domain name you should buy web-hosting. You can link your domain name and web hosting account using name servers. Name servers are given by your web hosting company and you should update them on your domain name settings.

Buy a Web hosting Account and Install WordPress:

Your next step is to buy a web hosting package and get your blog up and running!
If you want a good starter hosting package for your blog, go ahead and sign up for an account from BlueHost. They also provide you with 1-click WordPress installation.

BlueHost provides reliable hosting for as low as $3.95/month if you sign up for a 3 years package. It would cost you around $5.95 a month if you sign up for 1 year (minimum term). Your total cost for 1 year of hosting would be $65 (around Rs.4,400). If you decide to stop using them after a few months, they will refund the remaining amount.

You will get:

Unlimited website hosting
1-click WordPress installation
24/7 Support
I have experimented with a lot of different hosting services and BlueHost is one of the most reliable ones for WordPress blogs.

Another alternative for web-hosting if you want to get started with a monthly payment plan is HostGator.
