Page 1 of 3 First I should point out who this article is for. If you just want to throw together some HTML with tons of ads in it and forget about it, this article is NOT for you. If you plan to maintain a website with useful and meaningful content then read on.
First a foundation to build on.
What is your website about? It should be something that you are interested in. You don't have to be an expert on the topic, but it should be something you've been interested in for some time and not just a passing phase. Determine the keywords that best reflect what your site is about. To do that, think of what you might type into Google to find your site. Grab a notepad and jot down the different terms you think of. Use these terms to come up with a unique and pronounceable (memorable) domain name and register it.
You can also refer to the keyword list when it's time to start doing search engine optimization (SEO). If you haven't already, register a domain and host it on a Linux web server with PHP and MySQL support. The amount of free quality software for the LAMP platform is staggering, making creating and maintaining a quality web site trivial and even fun.
So you have a catchy domain name, and a reliable web hosting. A reliable webhost will be worth the extra dollar or two a month, so shop a bit. Don't go with the cheapest you can find.
Ok, it's time to put the site together
