Purchase a domain name to your liking. Determine what fits your needs. If it's a company website, purchase your company name. If it is a hobby, purchase a domain name that fits with that interest. Two sites to purchase domains from are GoDaddy.com and Namecheap.com.
Sign up for hosting. If cost is a consideration, go with shared hosting because it's the cheapest. Shared hosting is a package where the web host puts thousands of people on one server expecting no one to use that much in resources. It makes it cheap for you and profitable for them. Some top sites for hosting are GoDaddy.com and HostGator.com.
Connect the web hosting to the domain name by attaching the nameservers to the domain name. To do this, log into your domain name management and click on nameservers. Then change the ones that are already there with the ones your web host provided.
Search Google for different types of content management systems. Two of the most effective ones are WordPress.org and Joomla.org. Both make it very easy to put a site up on the web.
Download the files for the CMS and upload them to your site. To do this, use a FTP client such as FTP-project.org. This is one of the better ones and is very easy to use. Login using your domain name, username and password. Then drag files from your desktop to your server.
Search Google for themes pertinent to your choice of CMS. So, if you chose WordPress, look up, 'Free WordPress Themes.' You'll find thousands of themes to choose from. Choose the one you want, download it and then upload it using the FTP client you installed.
Begin creating your pages. The website is up, the site has a template and now all you need are the actual words and images to go along with the site. Any information you want your website to have can be easily added using the CMS back end.

How to Make My Own Web ServerIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
If you don't have a high-speed Internet connection, secure one with a local provider in your area.
Secure your own domain name. This will help people get to and from your files on the Internet. This will also give you a place to send and receive email. If you do not have a static web address (if you have cable or DSL connection, you probably will not have a static address) there are several places you can go to secure your domain. Check the resources section.
Get your router. Use a regular router, because wireless routers are not suggested for home server set-ups. Your router should have Ethernet jacks and should be capable of port forwarding in order to allow outside Internet traffic.
Set up your computer. Make sure that you have your standard computer items including a keyboard, mouse, and a 10/100 Ethernet Network Card. Make sure to have an uninterrupted power supply to keep your system safe in the event of a power outage.
To configure your web server, you should start system-config services. Make sure that httpd and mysqld are started and selected to start on boot, then save the service configuration.
Verify that your web server is working correctly by opening a browser and pointing it at http://localhost/ (which always points to the web server on your computer). You should see the test page for apache, the web server application.
Set up port forwarding as directed by your router. Make sure that all http services or port 80 traffic is sent to the IP address of your web server.

What Is the Difference Between Internal External Website Hosting?In Feburary 2016 09,
In Feburary 2016 09,
Internal hosting for a website refers to a company possessing its own servers and hardware dedicated to its website's files and bandwidth. Everything is run and managed in-house, and all of the equipment, technology and support are provided directly by the company itself.
What Is External Hosting?
External hosting for websites includes buying service space and bandwidth capabilities from another company. Large hosting companies, ranging from Host Gator to Go Daddy and dozens of others, provide a variety of plans with different monthly fees. This enables businesses of all sizes to have a website without the need for their own equipment and resources.
Pros and Cons of Internal Hosting
The advantages of internal hosting include direct oversight and control. When everything is properly set up, maintained and scaled, it provides maximum reliability. Drawbacks include the upfront costs of purchasing servers and other equipment, as well as the need for IT staffing to manage and support the server and network. It requires special attention and care for installation and ongoing maintenance.
Pros and Cons of External Hosting
External hosting is typically cheap, and easy to get started with. Hosting plans for many companies start at $10 per month or less, no equipment needs to be purchased and no additional staffing or other resources are needed. Support and security are provided for the business as well. Drawbacks include a lack of direct oversight and the potential for increased downtime or outages depending on the scale of the hosting plan that's purchased.
Choose Based on Needs
No single solution will work for every organization or business. Choosing between internal hosting and external hosting for a website means thinking about the needs, resources and desires of the particular enterprise. Choose a solution that will be easy to implement and work with, and will provide the greatest range of benefits that the business hopes to achieve based upon its size and the nature of its operations.
