How to build a website

All you need is a domain and a hosting.

First create an account in godaddy.com.

Godaddy provides both the domain and hosting. I recommend using godaddy for purchasing both.

But It is not necessary to purchase both domain and hosting in the same account, You may purchase hosting in any other godaddy account or even in any other providers such as bluehost.com,hostgator.com,etc..  or you may purchase domain in any other godaddy account or even in any other providers. All we need is a domain and a hosting.

However if both the domain and hosting are purchased in a same godaddy account.. It will be not necessary to manually point the domain and hosting together(setting DNS nameserver), it will automatically update the domain name's nameservers, so the website starts itself..

However, if the domain name is in another customer account we must manually update the domain name's nameservers

However, if the domain name is registered elsewhere, we must manually update the domain name's nameservers and A (Host) Record.

Add the Domain Name

The first step is to add the domain name you want to use a Secondary domain on your account.

1.      click Addon Domains.

2.      Complete the following fields, and then click Add Domain.

·         New Domain Name — Enter the domain name you want to use.

·         Subdomain/FTP Username — Enter the FTP username you want to use.

·         Document Root — Enter the name of a directory you want to create in the home directory. You'll upload the New Domain Name's files to this directory to make its website display.

·         Password & Password (Again) — Enter the FTP password you want to use.

Here's where our support department sees the most issues. To avoid these issues, remember that each website uses its own folder — the one specified when you added the secondary domain name.

Take a look at the following screenshot for more explanation:

The screenshot uses a Web Hosting account. If you use cPanel or Plesk, your file structure will look slightly different. For example, cPanel's Secondary domain names each have their own directory in the public_html. Plesk's secondary domain names each have their own directory in the hosting account's root.

1.      Connect to your hosting account, or use the FTP File Manager.

2.      Browse to the folder you selected in the Add the Domain Name Section. In this example, that folder is anothercoolexample.

3.      Upload the files to that folder.

The files you upload to that directory should have an index file, which is what makes your website display. Usually, this file is calledindex.htm or index.html, but there are other valid options
