Start Your Website

Before you start website design for your business, you should consider following aspects for hassle free design and management of your website

1. Domain/ Website Name Research:

Your website should have a simple and memorable domain/ website name (like growebsite.in). This makes it easier for customers to remember, type, and find on Google. Choose a domain that’s easy to recall and, most importantly, unique. The more distinctive your domain name is, the easier it will be for people to search for it in google and access your site directly. Most importantly, just select the domain, but don’t buy it yet. Because, you can actually get it for free. Let’s see how.

2. Hosting

After choosing a domain, the next crucial step is selecting reliable hosting. Hosting is where all your website files—code, images, videos, PDFs, and more—are stored. Without hosting, your domain name won’t serve any purpose. It’s important to choose a quality hosting provider to ensure your site runs smoothly and without interruptions. Cheap hosting can lead to frequent downtime, which can frustrate your visitors and hurt your credibility. We recommend trusted providers like Hostinger, GoDaddy, or Bluehost for a stable and hassle-free hosting experience. And wait! You are not going to buy hosting yet. There is something else you need to know.

3. SSL Certificate

An SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate is essential for securing your website and building trust with visitors. It encrypts the data transferred between your website and users, protecting sensitive information like passwords, credit card details, and personal data.

✅ Key Benefits of SSL:

  • 🔐 Data Security: Encrypts user data to prevent hacking or theft.
  • ✅ Trust & Credibility: Displays a padlock icon and “https” in the browser, signaling a safe website.
  • 📈 Better SEO: Google favors secure sites, so SSL helps improve search engine rankings.
  • 💳 Required for Payments: Mandatory for eCommerce sites to process transactions securely.
  • 🛡️ Protects Brand Reputation: Prevents warnings like “Not Secure” in browsers, which can scare away visitors.

In short, an SSL certificate isn’t optional—it’s a must-have for every professional and trustworthy website.

4. Choose A Package

Many hosting providers offer complete packages that include a domain, hosting, and an SSL certificate. When you purchase a bundled plan, the domain and SSL certificate often come free of charge. Without proper planning, you might end up buying each component separately—domain, hosting, and SSL—which can become unnecessarily expensive. To avoid overspending, it’s best to choose a well-priced package that offers everything you need. This not only saves money but also simplifies setup.

5. Selecting WordPress Platform

WordPress is flexible, beginner-friendly, and powerful—everything a startup needs to get online quickly and grow fast. Here’s a simple and clear list of why you should choose WordPress for your startup:

✅ Why Choose WordPress for Your Startup:

  1. Free to Use – WordPress is open-source and doesn’t cost anything to install.
  2. Easy to Manage – No coding skills needed; anyone can update the site.
  3. Customizable – Thousands of themes and plugins to add any feature you want. You can also develop custom code as per your requirement.
  4. SEO-Friendly – Helps your website rank better on Google.
  5. Mobile Responsive – Most themes work great on phones and tablets.
  6. Scalable – Start small and grow your site as your business grows.
  7. E-commerce Ready – Easily add an online store using plugins like WooCommerce.

6. Buying a Package

Hosting providers generally offer two types of hosting: Regular Hosting and WordPress Hosting. Regular hosting allows you to install any type of website or platform, while WordPress hosting is specifically optimized for WordPress websites. It comes with added security, protection against malware, faster performance, and CDN features to improve your site’s speed. If you’re running multiple types of websites, regular hosting is a better choice. But if you have just a WordPress site, WordPress hosting is ideal.

When choosing a hosting package, always make sure it includes:

  1. Regular or WordPress Hosting
  2. Free Domain
  3. Free SSL Certificate
  4. Free Business Email(s)
