The 3 Basic Things you need to create website without coding in 2022

Domain Name

Domain name is similar to the address of your physical shop or house. By typing in the domain name (website address) people can access your website.

Examples of some domain names are google.com, flipkart.com, amazon.in etc.

In technical terms , every website has a numerical IP address ( intenet protocol address), but as humans we all are not goodwith numbers but with names. So domain names are used for website address instead of numerical IP addresses. The domain names and IP addresses are mapped using DNS – Domain name system.

Choosing a domain name is very much crucial for your business. It can break or make your business. See how easy it is to remeber domain names like Amazon.in, Flipkart, Google.com

So you have to do some thinking and research to finalise on your Domain name.

The price of domain name can be as cheap as Rs 500/- per year to Rs 1,00,000/- or even more depending on how simple or how fancy domain name you choose

You can check my blog post on how to choose domain name for some insights on domain name selection.

Hosting Plan

After you purchase domain name, this Doman name is your website needs to be hosting on a server to make your website live and available in the internet.

You can have your own server, but taking into account the technicalities involed in maintainina a server, an individual finds it difficult to have his onw server.

So we approach the hosting service providers and host our website on thier servers. For using their servers we have to pay them monthly/annual price.

This is similar the the rental amount you pay for your shop/business store taken on rent.

There are several hosting servcie providers available in the market and provide very competitive plans at better prices. My personal recommendation will be Bluehost Hosting and next comes Hostinger hosting
