Everyone who is connected to internet will always love to see his name on a Google search page; get to see his website among the top popular websites. So here I am, trying to explain some tips regarding your own website creation. The steps are mentioned in sequence regarding how to create your website.
1. Getting your Domain name
Domain Name is the name you want to give to your website. Choosing a domain name is very important as the search rankings will depend heavily upon it.

Getting the domain doesn’t give you a website, but yes it is the starting point of having your website.
