Starting your own website sounds like a challenge, but that\u2019s where all your efforts come into play. It may be an overwhelming first step; however, seeing your business, blog, agency, or whatever field flourish is a proud-worthy moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know some clear direction is needed, which is why we at GuruDesk<\/a> want to simplify it and assist you every step of the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Your Own Website <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Starting your website begins with the option of which builder or content management system you are hoping your website will land on. Are you thinking of a hosting provider? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s break it down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a hosting provider offering web hosting, WordPress<\/a>, Ecommerce (specifically WooCommerce<\/a>), cloud hosting, and much more. \u200b\u200b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe in the power of WordPress since the majority (over 40% of websites) are on it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depending on the concept or idea of your website, you will be able to choose the option that best fits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Name a Website <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to naming your website, it\u2019s important that it encapsulates your brand identity. At the end of the day, you wouldn\u2019t want your name to be generic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By choosing a name for your website, you would be able to choose a domain name as well, since that\u2019s how your customers or viewers will be able to find you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A TLD<\/a> is an important aspect as well. Are you hoping to choose .com, which is known worldwide and favored? Or are you part of an organization that will push you to choose .org? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naming your website will ease off a lot of the pressure and help you formulate your website, as well as ground it that much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting Your Own Website With GuruDesk <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you established your domain name and generated an email to officiate things, you would have made yourself all the more professional. Now comes the tricky part. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your hosting provider, GuruDesk, takes care of all the nitty-gritty work, which means securing your website with an SSL certificate <\/a>and a three-layer firewall architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bonus here is that if you choose a hosting plan with GuruDesk, we offer a domain name, email hosting, and SSL certificates as part of the deal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To us, that\u2019s winning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Starting<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Moving from site security to uptime, we offer our users a 99.9% uptime guarantee. This allows your site to be visible and available to your users without the worry of constant downtime! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s not forget the importance of speed and performance. If your website loads slowly, chances are you\u2019re losing conversions, resulting in a high bounce rate. Did you know that users are more likely than not to abandon a website if it takes more than 2 seconds to load? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

User experience <\/a>plays into this, of course, since if your site is not user-friendly, bounce rates go up and conversions go down. An easy-to-navigate website is what our UI\/UX designers are good at. We\u2019re all about the experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visuals come into play along with the aforementioned aspect. Compressing visuals is necessary to cut down on speed, load them quickly, and not frustrate your customers or users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it ever gets hectic and you\u2019re unsure of how to best navigate, you can contact our 24\/7 customer support. Available no matter the time or date, our customer support team aims to assist you no matter the question or the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
