A web hosting is a place to put your website.  A web hosting company provides such service. Fastcomet is one of them. It’s affordable, fast and provides an amazing customer support.

3 types of a web hosting :

Now, it’s time to think about your domain name.

What is it?

It’s your web online address, for example : myweb.com.

It has to be unique and hasn’t been used by others. Check its availability when buying your web hosting.

After your purchase come back here again. I will show you step by step how to make a website easy, simple and fast by using WordPress.

Let’s start!

Your website needs a management platform. WordPress is a platform to manage the look, feel and your contents. You can create almost any kind of website, such as a blog, a gallery, an online shop or even an online course with WordPress.

It will take 5 minutes to setup.

Look for an email from Fastcomet to access your cPanel.
