1
Website Domain (URL)
The first step is to secure your web address, also referred to as
your URL. This is the ".com, .net, .info" address you type into an
internet browser. There are dozens of places online to obtain and
register your business URL name, like GoDaddy, NameCheap, BlueHost,
HostGator, Wix, etc.
2
Secure Your URL
An often overlooked step is securing your URL with an SSL
Certificate (Secure Sockets Layer). This creates an encrypted link
between a web server and a web browser, making it private and
secure. This encryption protects sensitive information like
passwords, credit card details, and personal data from being
intercepted by unauthorized parties.

Website Hosting
After you acquire your website name URL, you will need to have
your website "hosted." This is the process of uploading your
webpage or webpages to the internet for anyone to see.
4
Website Page Design
After you have your domain name secured and domain hosting set up,
it's time for website content via website design. At the very
least, you will need to have a "landing" page, which is a one-page
website that gives potential customers an idea of what your
business does.
5
Optional: Business Email Address
To make your email address look more professional, you can get a
business email address.
Instead of:
YourBusinessName@gmail.com
You can have this:
contact@YourBusinessName.com
