The truth about building a website

When building a website there can be a very large learning curve. In fact, the learning curve of building a website is large enough that many people simply give up. In this article I want to give the most honest, most effective, and best money saving way of building a website.

First, let's start out by talking about just how many affiliates are pushing garbage down your throat. I was recently doing some keyword research and trying to figure out what keywords people are typing into Google to learn how to build a website. So, I found about four keyword phrases that people are using to search for this topic. I then performed a search on these keyword phrases to find that all of the websites in the top rankings in Google for these keywords are nothing but money hungry affiliates.

I would like to explain that some of the affiliates do have good intentions and are selling good products. However, many of them are selling garbage that will not benefit anyone. Why do I say this? Well, because of the keywords they are ranking for. Many of the products these affiliates are selling would be hard for even an advanced web designer to navigate and build a website with. Not only are they trying to sell you products that are nearly impossible to use, but they are selling them at ridiculous prices. The only people benefiting from these products are the people selling them.

That said, let's move on to the positive side. There are honest people out there, and you can be honest and sell a product at the same time.

To build a website you will need hosting, no matter what anyone says, you need hosting from a reputable hosting company. It does not do you or your customers any good if your website is terribly slow and is no where to be found on a regular basis. A good hosting provider only costs about $85.00 per year. Not bad at all right!

You will also have to get a domain name. Many hosting companies offer a free domain name for life when you sign up for their hosting account. By getting the free domain name with your hosting account it will save you about $10.00 per year.

That's really it, your grand total to own a website is about $85.00 a year when you choose a hosting provider that gives you a free domain name. Also, many of the top hosting companies like Bluehost, Hostmonster, and Justhost offer incredible website builders for free that can be installed in only one click. Take for example Bluehost, they have over 25 website builders you can install. Now, do you want to buy from the affiliate marketer that is offering the "Greatest website builder in the world" or do you want plenty of choices and your own chance to figure out what will work for your website plans.

As for exact instructions on how to build a website, I highly recommend watching video tutorials so that you can follow along.
