Before you put a Web-hosting plan to work, you need to register a domain name. Some companies offer both services as a bundle, but you can buy the two parts separately from different companies. If you shop around, you may find a better price or an uncommon top-level domain such as '.us' or '.tv' not sold at every registrar. If you buy the domain separately, you need to set the name servers on the domain registrar's website to point to the addresses provided by your Web host. These steps vary from site to site, so check your registrar's help page for specific directions.
How Shared Hosting Works
Shared hosting places your website on the same server hardware as many other websites. This setup makes shared hosting affordable but gives you no control over the server hardware and software itself. Shared hosting plans often offer perks such as unlimited bandwidth and support for multiple domain names. The major limitation to shared hosting is CPU time: Every person who connects to your website uses some of the server's processing power. If too many people connect, at the same time, especially if you have complex scripts on your site, the websites of everyone on the server slow down. Use too much CPU time and your Web host might restrict your site or force you to upgrade to a dedicated server.
Dedicated Hosting and VPS
Dedicated servers avoid the CPU restrictions on shared servers and allow you to install custom software, but they often cost far more and include restrictions on bandwidth and drive space. In most cases, whether you are buying hosting for a personal site, a blog or even a small business, you can safely start out with shared hosting. If your site becomes popular or you need to alter your server's configuration, talk to your Web host to move up to a dedicated server so you won't have to rebuild your entire site for another host. Some Web hosts sell virtual private server hosting. VPS hosting does not provide additional CPU resources, but you can install software on the server and alter its settings.
Putting Your Site to Use
Setting up a site from scratch requires a significant amount of Web design and coding experience, but there's no need to reinvent the wheel. Content management systems, such as WordPress, Drupal and MediaWiki, provide a backbone for your site so you can focus on creating content. Some Web hosts offer one-click installation of these utilities, but if yours does not, download the CMS of your choice from its website and follow the directions to put it on your server and get started. Although each CMS offers customizations, WordPress and Drupal focus primarily on sites with permanent content and few authors, such as blogs, while MediaWiki works best with frequently updated pages, such as its best-known use, Wikipedia.
Running Your Own Host
Hosting your own website from home might sound like an easy way to save money, but it requires far more tech experience. If you set up your server incorrectly, hackers flood in from all over the Internet. DIY hosting requires you to own server hardware, a potentially pricy investment if you want your site to support a large number of visitors. Check with your Internet service provider before trying to run a server, as many explicitly block the practice unless you subscribe to a business-class plan.

How to Register Your Own Website DomainIn Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Choose several name options for your website. If you're most interested in a '.com' top-level domain name (TLD), your first choice may be already taken by someone else. Have several names in mind before beginning the registration process, and consider other extensions, such as '.net' or '.org.'
Choose a registrar to help you register your domain name, such as GoDaddy, Register.com or NameCheap. There are hundreds of registrars authorized by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to sell domain names. Make sure the registrar you choose is a accredited by ICANN by searching for it on ICANN's authorized registrar list. Annual prices and services offered, such as Web hosting, vary by registrar, so research each carefully before deciding upon a registrar.
Enter your domain name choices. Your favorite may not be available, so keep trying until you find an acceptable domain name. Some registrars help by suggesting names that are similar to your first choice, such as 'example.net' or 'examples.com' instead of 'example.com.'
Enter the necessary contact information. This information is required by ICANN. You must enter information for four types of contacts, although you can enter the same person, most likely yourself, for each of the contact types. The organization contact is considered the domain name's owner, and the administrative contact is the person who handles all administrative needs. The technical contact is responsible for all technical aspects of the domain name, while the billing contact pays the registry fees and handles other payment issues as necessary.
Choose options for your domain name after selecting an available name. Pick the length of your registration, which is often between one and 10 years. One year is the minimum commitment, but it's often a better deal to buy a longer term -- you may get a discount for purchasing several years up front. Some registrars offer automatic renewals, meaning your credit card or PayPal account is automatically charged at the end of your registration term until you cancel it. This option can help ensure continuity in your website by removing the chance you could forget to renew it. Many registrars provide matching domain names, which are names that are the same as the one you chose but with different extensions, such as '.org' or '.info.' These are often offered at a discounted rate, so you have the option to purchase them along with your original domain name. You must renew them just like you renew your main domain name. Decide whether you want to choose private domain registration. There is typically a fee associated with private registration. This option is designed to help reduce the amount of email spam, junk snail mail and telemarketing calls you receive. If you register your domain publicly, your personal information appears on the WHOIS website, which is an online searchable database of every domain name in use. It provides the name, address, phone number and email address of each domain name's owner. Choosing private registration shows the information of a proxy company instead of your information. The proxy company either belongs to your registrar company or partners with it.
Enter your Web host's primary and secondary nameservers when prompted. This directs your domain name to your website. You can likely find this information by logging in to your Web hosting account and looking under the host's frequently asked questions -- search for 'domain name transfer' or 'DNS.' If you have trouble finding the nameservers, call or email your Web host, who should be able to provide you with the information. If you don't have a Web hosting company yet, your registrar might offer domain parking services. Parking is when your domain name is routed to a dummy Web page for a short time. If you want to take advantage of this service, contact the registrar to ask what is shown on its dummy Web pages -- some fill the page with advertisements you don't endorse or earn money from. Others place a filler image, such as 'Under Construction,' on the page.
Pay for your domain name using a credit card or your PayPal account, if accepted by your registrar.
