1. Buy domain names and hosting

If the website is "mainly" for domestic users, especially enterprise websites, you should buy domain names and hosts on large platforms such as Alibaba Cloud. Alibaba Cloud has a relatively perfect domain name registration, authentication, management and filing process. If it is a small website or a small budget, you can choose Alibaba Cloud Lightweight Application Server, which can automatically install WordPress with one click, which is very convenient and especially suitable for small white users. One-click installation means you can set up your website without touching the server configuration.

If it is a large website or the budget is sufficient, you should choose Alibaba Cloud ECS, memory to buy more than 2G, bandwidth can be bought more or less according to needs, the cost is larger, but the follow-up scalability is strong.

If you don't want to file, but want smooth access for domestic users, you can consider Alibaba Cloud Hong Kong ECS. Note that at the time of writing this answer, Alibaba Cloud does not provide lightweight application servers in Hong Kong. The advantage of Hong Kong hosting is that it does not have to be filed, and the disadvantage is that it is slightly expensive, especially bandwidth resources, but it is also sufficient to support ordinary websites, such as enterprise portal stations, product stations, small e-commerce stations, etc.

If the website is "mainly" for foreign users, if the host chooses virtual hosts, such as SiteGround (demo), FastComet (demo), TMDHost, etc., all of which are service providers with good reputation. If this is the case, then you can buy the host domain name together. The first-line virtual host service providers all offer to buy hosts and send new domain names. Domain name host together to buy, plus virtual host to provide wordpress one-click installation, very convenient. If you encounter a vendor that does not send domain names, domain names can be purchased separately at namecheap, and then the domain name server is pointed to the domain name server of the virtual hosting service provider in the background.

In fact, the vast majority of the site, do not need VPS, a good virtual host is the best choice.

One consideration for choosing foreign virtual hosts is that domestic Access Management is inconvenient, and some service providers do this better, such as TMDHosting and SiteGround. But then again, the website is set up abroad, you still prepare a tool yourself is better, anyway, you have to use it.

Foreign hosts can also use VPS, generally not expensive, online often recommended are: DigitalOcean, Linode, etc., budget enough, you can buy large memory, 2G memory has been able to support a wordpress ordinary site. First-line service providers provide wordpress one-click installation, if you choose Ubuntu operating system, you can use tools such as ServerPilot to help you complete the installation configuration of the entire server (including wordpress) in one stop, of course, if you understand technology, you can also configure optimization yourself.

It is worth reminding that some people are very concerned when buying domain name hosts. In fact, the cost of a website, domain name hosts only account for a small part, so don't save money too much on domain name hosts, try to choose first-line service providers instead of using those that look very "cheap" services. Only first-line service providers have long-term security capabilities. Small factories are really hard to say.

2. Configure the server, install WordPress

As mentioned in the first step, the server of the virtual host does not need to be managed by itself, and wordpress can be installed with one click. Some manufacturers in VPS provide automatic configuration, such as DigitalOcean and Linode abroad; some do not, such as Alibaba Cloud in China.

If the host uses ECS, and I don't know how to configure it, my suggestion is to choose Ubuntu operating system when purchasing, and then combine ServerPilot to complete automatic configuration, which is a server automatic configuration optimization service, so that you don't need to log in to the server yourself, but also can quickly and accurately complete the installation and automatic configuration of the server and wordpress, but at present this tool only supports Ubuntu system. Long-term use of ServerPilot is charged, but after the server autoconfiguration is complete, you can delete ServerPilot to its connection, which is not charged.

3. WordPress Theme Integration

This is the key to the success or failure of a wordpress website, unless it is a personal website, try not to use free themes, because long-term support is not guaranteed, and features are limited. Paid WordPress themes have long-term support, usually come with page design tools and a lot of configuration options, more suitable for long-term maintenance of a website.

If it's a generic site, start with a generic theme like Avada, which is mature enough to support a generic informational site. For e-commerce sites, I suggest you start with a theme like Flatsome. If you need more specialized themes designed for specific industries and needs, please see my compilation and welcome to consult.

In the early stage, the theme may be a large cost, most of the theme is a license can only be bound to a domain name, if you have plans to do more than one website in the future, you should consider Divi such an unlimited domain name theme scheme, reduce costs.

After buying the theme, upload it in wordpress and install it, usually activate it. It's best to spend time familiarizing yourself with its background configuration and how it affects foreground rendering, which is an opportunity to learn and takes time.

4. website construction

Your wordress can be accessed normally, and the following is about website construction.

Before website construction, you should seriously think about what you want to do, refer to other websites more, and give yourself ideas. Many excellent websites start from imitation.

You also need to carefully prepare the content, with a folder, prevent the site needs pictures, text, design and other information.

Website construction should follow the principle of first content and then appearance, a good content structure is the basis of website design, avoid premature treatment of external deviation.
