🌐 Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your First Website (2025)

Creating your first website might feel overwhelming — but it's easier than you think. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to launch your website from scratch using StartaHost.

Let’s get started! 🚀

✅ Step 1: Choose a Domain Name

Your domain is your website’s address (e.g., yourbrand.in).

🔹 Pick something:

  • Short and memorable

  • Easy to spell

  • Relevant to your business/blog

📌 You can buy a domain directly from StartaHost or use a domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap.

✅ Step 2: Choose a Web Hosting Plan

Your website needs a home on the internet — that’s what hosting is for.

🔹 If you’re just starting:

  • Go with Shared Hosting (₹59/month)

  • Choose StartaHost’s Basic Plan

  • Comes with free SSL, cPanel, and WordPress support

📌 If you’re planning multiple sites or clients, try Reseller Hosting.

✅ Step 3: Connect Your Domain to Hosting

Once you have both domain and hosting:

  1. Login to your domain provider (like GoDaddy)

  2. Go to DNS settings

  3. Replace the default nameservers with:

    • ns1.startahost.in

    • ns2.startahost.in

💡 Wait 2–4 hours for DNS propagation.

✅ Step 4: Install WordPress (1-Click)

Once domain is connected:

  1. Login to cPanel (from your hosting dashboard)

  2. Find Softaculous App Installer

  3. Click on WordPress

  4. Choose domain > Fill site title/password > Click Install

🎉 Done! Your WordPress site is now live!

✅ Step 5: Choose a Theme and Customize

  1. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-admin

  2. Login to your WordPress dashboard

  3. Navigate to Appearance > Themes

  4. Choose a free theme like:

    • Astra

    • Kadence

    • Blocksy

  5. Customize with logo, colors, and layout

📌 Install plugins like Elementor or WPForms to design and extend your site.

✅ Step 6: Create Key Pages

Make sure your website has:

  • 🏠 Home

  • 📄 About

  • 📞 Contact

  • 📝 Blog or Services

  • 📜 Privacy Policy / Terms (for trust)

Use Elementor or Gutenberg to create and design pages easily.

✅ Step 7: Launch and Promote

✅ Final checklist before launching:

  • ✅ Check mobile responsiveness

  • ✅ Setup Google Analytics + Search Console

  • ✅ Add basic SEO (using Yoast or RankMath)

  • ✅ Test your contact forms

Then share your website link on:

  • Social Media

  • WhatsApp groups

  • Email signature

  • Google My Business

🛠️ Optional: Add a Blog or Store

Want to go further?

  • Install WooCommerce to turn your site into an online store
