What are the first steps to own and run a website? 1. you need a (unique) domain name - your address on the global internet. 2. you need a concept what you want to advertise on your website and how detailed you want this to be. 3. you need a web designer to create a website that is as unique as your domain name. 4. you need a hosting company to run the website 5. and, last but not least, you need to promote your website.
