There are several key steps to building a website with WordPress.

Before you start, if you don't know anything, I suggest you don't buy anything rashly, but consult people in the industry to avoid buying the wrong things and wasting time and money.

1. Purchase domain names and hosts

If the website is "mainly" for domestic users, especially for corporate websites, you should purchase domain names and hosts on a large platform like Aliyun. Aliyunwan has a relatively complete process of domain name registration, authentication, management and filing. If it is a small website or a small budget, you can choose Aliyun lightweight application server, which can install wordpress automatically with one click, which is very convenient and especially suitable for novice users. One-click installation means that you can set up the website without touching the server configuration.

If it is a large website or a sufficient budget, you should choose Aliyun ECS. If you buy more than 2 gigabytes of memory, you can buy more or less bandwidth as needed. The cost is higher, but the subsequent scalability is strong.

If you don't want to put on record, but want domestic users to access smoothly, you can consider Aliyun Hong Kong ECS. Note that at the time of writing this answer, Aliyun does not offer lightweight application servers in Hong Kong. The advantage of Hong Kong mainframe is that it does not need to put on record, but the disadvantage is that it is a little expensive, especially the bandwidth resources, but it is also enough to support ordinary websites, such as enterprise portals, product stations, small e-commerce stations and so on.

If the website is "mainly" for foreign users, and if the host chooses a virtual host, such as SiteGround (demonstration), FastComet (demonstration), TMDHost, etc., they are all reputable service providers. If this is the case, you can buy the host domain name together, and the front-line virtual hosting service providers all provide the buyer to send the new domain name. Domain name host to buy together, coupled with the virtual host to provide one-click installation of wordpress, very convenient. If you encounter a manufacturer who does not send a domain name, you can purchase the domain name separately in namecheap, and then point the domain name server to the domain name server of the virtual hosting service provider in the background.

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

One of the considerations in choosing a foreign virtual host is whether it is convenient for domestic access management, and some service providers do this better, such as TMDHosting,SiteGround. But then again, the website is set up abroad, you'd better prepare your own tool, anyway, you have to use it.

Foreign hosts can also use VPS, generally inexpensive, online is often recommended are: DigitalOcean,Linode and so on, the budget is sufficient, you can buy more memory, 2G memory has been able to support a wordpress ordinary site. Front-line service providers all provide one-click installation of wordpress. If you choose the Ubuntu operating system, you can use tools like ServerPilot to help you complete the installation and configuration of the entire server (including wordpress) in one stop. Of course, if you know the technology, you can also optimize your own configuration.

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

two。 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, for example, foreign DigitalOcean,Linode; does not provide automatic configuration, such as domestic Aliyun.

If the host uses ECS, and you don't know how to configure it, my advice is to choose the Ubuntu operating system when you buy it, and then combine it with ServerPilot to complete the automatic configuration, which is a server automatic configuration optimization service that allows you to quickly and accurately complete the installation and automatic configuration of the server and wordpress without logging in on your own, but currently this tool only supports Ubuntu systems. There is a charge for long-term use of ServerPilot, but after the server is automatically configured, you can delete the connection from ServerPilot to it without paying.

3. Integrated wordpress theme

This is the key to the success or failure of a wordpress site, unless it is a personal site, try not to use free themes, because the long-term support is not guaranteed, and the function is very limited. Paid wordpress theme has long-term support, usually comes with page design tools and many configuration options, which is more suitable for long-term operation and maintenance of a website.

If it is an ordinary website, you can start with a general theme such as Avada, which is mature enough to support ordinary information sites. (foreign trade) e-commerce sites, I suggest you start with a theme like Flatsome. If you need more specific topics designed for specific industries and needs, please see my arrangement, and you are welcome to consult.

In the early days, themes may cost a lot of money, and most themes can only be bound to one domain name per license. If you plan to build multiple websites in the future, you should consider unlimited domain name theme solutions such as Divi to reduce costs.

After the theme is bought, the upload and installation is completed in wordpress, and it is usually activated. It is best to take the time to familiarize yourself with its background configuration and how these configurations affect the foreground presentation. This is a learning opportunity and takes time.

4. Website construction

Your wordress can be accessed normally, so we need to build the website.

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

You also need to prepare the content carefully and use a folder to prevent the pictures, text, design and other materials needed by the website.

Website construction should follow the principle of content before appearance, a good content structure is the basis of website design, do not prematurely deal with abduction.

At this time, you can consider whether you need to find someone to help you build a station, or do it yourself while learning, many small sites can be done while learning, which requires you to be patient, do not give up halfway.
