Before you even start creating your landing page, answer the following questions:
Here are some websites where you can purchase hosting: siteground.com, fastcomet.com, hostinger.com.
If you are starting out, you need to look for a server control panel that is easy to use and navigate. A shared server is often a good choice in such a situation. Nevertheless, as your website grows, consider upgrading to a more powerful server, as it can handle more data and provide better performance. If you make the wrong hosting choice, you may face many problems.
It is important to have a good foundation when establishing an online business. It should be easy for the user to remember the domain name, so keeping it simple and catchy is ideal. Additionally, the chosen domain extension should be considered carefully. For a UK website, the .uk extension is the best choice, and if you want your site to be available to a global audience, it is recommended to use the .com extension as it is the most widely recognized.
Here are some websites where you can buy a domain: Namecheap.com, regery.com, ovh.pl.
When searching for a domain name, many people will find advice on the web that they should incorporate a keyphrase into the address to get better search engine results. Although this is true to an extent, using the phrase as the entire domain (e.g. shoesforgym.com) is not a very effective approach. It will be hard to be promoted on Google or other search engines when competing with all the manufacturers of gym shoes. Additionally, users will be wading through ads when looking for your website. Therefore, choosing a domain with your name or combining it with a key phrase, such as topbestshoes.com is better.
Set your imagination free and create a title for your landing page. Be aware that specific titles might be already taken. Utilize services like atthost.pl to verify the availability of a domain you thought of.
In this piece, we will be exploring the process of setting up a website using WordPress as an example. While there are pre-made designs on sites such as Mobirise, Wix, Zyro, etc., which only require connecting a domain, they present a much more limited range of options. When it comes to more complex sites, investing the time to build everything from the ground up is better.
WP setup is fast and straightforward so that you can relax. The manual installation requires downloading the files and sending them to the server.
Among the 19 files in the folder, you need to search for wp-config-sample.php, copy and paste it into the same directory, and rename it to wp-config.php. As its name implies, this file is part of the default WordPress template. That being said, it includes portions you will have to fill in with your information, which we'll discuss soon.
But what is a MySQL database? Data can be collected and stored in various ways, depending on the rules of the computer program in use. MySQL is one of the most efficient databases, allowing it to process many queries. To create a database with Hostinger, the MySQL Databases page should be accessed through Hosting → Manage → MySQL Databases. This page will enable users to manage their MySQL databases fully.
Choose the website name to which the database will be assigned from the left drop-down menu:
In the section Create a New MySQL Database And Database User, enter your MySQL database name, username, and password, then click on Create:
When it is finished, the recently created database will automatically be linked to the chosen domain and show up in the List of Current MySQL Databases And Users segment, wherein you can oversee it.
Open the wp-config file in the default Notepad++ application (if using Windows) or the default TextEdit application (if using macOS).
Find the following lines of text and replace the highlighted values with the name of the database you created, the username and the correct password that you set in step 3:
Once you have changed all the above-mentioned information, remember to save the file.
Important:
Before you begin the transfer of files, it is essential to establish a connection to the server. Here is how you can do that:
In order to access the leading FTP directory, go to domains-> domainname.com-> public_html/www. However, this file path may vary depending on the hosting provider. If you are still having difficulty finding the correct folder, please get in touch with your hosting provider's support team.
Once you have deleted all the files from the folder, locate the WordPress folder and files in the left-hand window of FileZilla. Pick all the items aside from wp-config-sample.php and shift them to the window on the right. The transfer will initiate automatically. You are uploading your website to the Internet. If you have a warning about duplicate files, tick the "Change" option and press "Ok". The transfer should take a few minutes, depending on your internet speed. When the process is complete, disconnect from the server.

QUESTIONS WORTH ASKING YOURSELF BEFORE CREATING A LANDING PAGE
Before you even start creating your landing page, answer the following questions:
What is your target group?

These questions will provide some answers to make the right decisions regarding design and domain name. Keeping "less is more" in mind is essential, as too many choices can cause confusion and cause users to leave the website.What is the purpose of your website?
This question will be helpful when you are creating and picking a template. Reflect on what should be put on the website and how the user will gain from it.

Before you create your landing page, it is important to consider which hosting option to choose.

If the loading time is shorter, they may grow impatient and leave the website to find another one. Therefore, it is essential to pick a good hosting to prevent this.Here are some websites where you can purchase hosting: siteground.com, fastcomet.com, hostinger.com.

If you make the wrong hosting choice, you may face many problems.
How much does a hosting cost?

In this piece, we will be exploring the process of setting up a website using WordPress as an example. While there are pre-made designs on sites such as Mobirise, Wix, Zyro, etc., which only require connecting a domain, they present a much more limited range of options. When it comes to more complex sites, investing the time to build everything from the ground up is better.
WP setup is fast and straightforward so that you can relax. The manual installation requires downloading the files and sending them to the server.
Step 1 - Download WordPress
The first step in setting up your own online website is to download the WordPress installation package.Step 2 - Unpack the files
After downloading, click on the downloaded .zip archive:
Among the 19 files in the folder, you need to search for wp-config-sample.php, copy and paste it into the same directory, and rename it to wp-config.php. As its name implies, this file is part of the default WordPress template. That being said, it includes portions you will have to fill in with your information, which we'll discuss soon.
Step 3 - Create a MySQL database
WordPress is a system that uses a database. Before we install WordPress on the hosting server together, you will need to create a MySQL database.But what is a MySQL database? Data can be collected and stored in various ways, depending on the rules of the computer program in use. MySQL is one of the most efficient databases, allowing it to process many queries. To create a database with Hostinger, the MySQL Databases page should be accessed through Hosting → Manage → MySQL Databases. This page will enable users to manage their MySQL databases fully.
Choose the website name to which the database will be assigned from the left drop-down menu:
In the section Create a New MySQL Database And Database User, enter your MySQL database name, username, and password, then click on Create:
When it is finished, the recently created database will automatically be linked to the chosen domain and show up in the List of Current MySQL Databases And Users segment, wherein you can oversee it.
Step 4 - Complete the wp-config.php file with data
At this stage, you will need the previous wp-config.php file and information from the database you created in stage 3.Open the wp-config file in the default Notepad++ application (if using Windows) or the default TextEdit application (if using macOS).
Find the following lines of text and replace the highlighted values with the name of the database you created, the username and the correct password that you set in step 3:
Once you have changed all the above-mentioned information, remember to save the file.
Important:
- Don't remove apostrophes! Values must be entered between the ' ' characters.
- The label of the database and the user is not only the value inserted in the display on the server but also what is denoted by the underline (from the screenshots shown, the label of the database and user will be in this format: name_enteredvalue).
- What can be found when the term 'localhost' is searched? It is the database server's address and, by default, should remain in its field. However, some hosting companies may require a different address. If you are unsure if your hosting company is one of them, you will find out during the installation process if you get this message: 'Error establishing a database connection'. To check for any possible information, look at the card given when the database was created (Step 3). If there is no information, contact the server administrator and ask for the address that should be used instead of localhost.
Step 5 - Configuration of connection to the server in FileZilla
Everything is nearly set. The only thing we must still accomplish is uploading the files to the server. FileZilla is a great tool to utilize for this task.Before you begin the transfer of files, it is essential to establish a connection to the server. Here is how you can do that:
- Locate the communication you received from your hosting company. It should contain the FTP address, login, and password details. If you have yet to obtain such a message or there is no such information, reach out to the administrator to ask for the FTP address of the server as well as to generate a user.
- Open FileZilla and select File -> Site Manager -> New Address. Select the name of your connection (e.g. the name of a website or blog), and then complete:
- Server: enter the link to the server that starts with ftp.servername.com,
- Protocol: FTP - file transfer protocol,
- Encryption: if available, use direct FTP over TLS,
- Logging mode: normal,
- User: FTP username,
- Password: password, (it's important to make it difficult, so it's worth using a password generator).
Step 6 - Uploading files to the server
If all the steps have been done correctly and the info is accurate, you can access the server, and the right part of the FileZilla interface will be activated. The remote server part should appear highlighted, and the windows beneath will show the folders and files. Remember that you can't put the files wherever you want. They need to be in the public_html subfolder (if you cannot locate it, search for "www"). This folder can be found in the directory of your website address.In order to access the leading FTP directory, go to domains-> domainname.com-> public_html/www. However, this file path may vary depending on the hosting provider. If you are still having difficulty finding the correct folder, please get in touch with your hosting provider's support team.
Once you have deleted all the files from the folder, locate the WordPress folder and files in the left-hand window of FileZilla. Pick all the items aside from wp-config-sample.php and shift them to the window on the right. The transfer will initiate automatically. You are uploading your website to the Internet. If you have a warning about duplicate files, tick the "Change" option and press "Ok". The transfer should take a few minutes, depending on your internet speed. When the process is complete, disconnect from the server.
Step 7 - Installing WordPress
In a few moments, you will be the proud owner of your website. No matter what web browser you are using - Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, or something else - just type in your website address in the search bar. If it does not automatically redirect you to the following address: , enter it manually and replace “yourebsite.com” with your domain name. When you press enter, you should see the page that follows.
- Site title - enter the name of your website, not the address,
- Username - your login with which you will log in as an administrator (choose something other than "admin" and "administrator", because these are the most common and easiest names to hack),
- Password - be creative, the password should be hard to hack (you can use the online generator),
- Email address - an email with login details and address will be sent to this address,
- Visibility - if you do not want a random person to see your unfinished page, check the box next to "visibility for search engines", remember to uncheck this option when publishing the page in the tab: Settings -> Reading, at the very bottom of the screen.
