Easy Ways On How To Make Your Own Website by Trevor John

 

It's probably never been easier to make your own website.

Ever since the internet became popular, there have been sites that have allowed you to put your own web page on their site. Geocities still exists but many of the others have faded into extinction.

If you just want a simple website to share your thoughts with others or even to publicize something, you can use one of the many services out there that make it a breeze to make your own website.

If you want an online diary, consider setting up a blog using a service such as Blogger.

If you want to team up with old school friends or high school buddies, places like Facebook may be more suitable. You can add photos, so people can see what you did on vacation for instance. You can also join groups of like minded people.

MySpace is often used by bands to promote their own music. So you could start to make yourself famous if you went down this route.

The only snag with some of the services mentioned so far is that some of them frown on you if you get too commercial. So you may find it difficult to use those free web spaces to earn extra dollars.

The next level up still doesn't involve any knowledge of HTML. So long as you can use a word processor, you'll still be perfectly at home.

Squidoo offers a way to publish your thoughts on a subject. They call their web pages lenses but that's only a name they give them - they're still your web site, albeit on Squidoo's domain. You have pretty much free reign on what you can put on a Squidoo "lens" and you can earn commissions when people click on the adverts that both you and Squidoo place on the site.

Finally, there's the scariest way to make your own website.

That is by renting space on a computer that's connected to the internet, normally called hosting. This is remarkably inexpensive, starting at around $1 a month upwards.

Most web hosting will give you tools to create your own website but if they don't, there are plenty of programs (such as the free NVU) which make it almost as easy as one of the options above.
