First Steps to Creating Your Website

To create a website, you must know what you want to upload to the web: create an online store, an informative website about your services, a blog, or a gallery of your work. This is important because your idea is the driving force behind your web project and will determine its growth. Online Store. E-commerce or online stores have become very popular, and this is where the greatest competition has been seen in recent years regarding development. Today, anyone has the opportunity to start an online sales system, allowing for a range of opportunities in the social, professional, and economic spheres. You can offer physical and digital services or products. Blogs. Blogs comprise one of the largest databases of information, as they are the purest form of sharing personal, educational, and commercial knowledge. Currently, we find informative blogs with news and information about different disciplines. Online Communities. Social media marked a milestone in how we connect with our peers and is now very popular as a method for establishing and maintaining relationships. The truth is that these platforms are here to stay, and their potential shapes how we communicate. The main characteristic is the horizontal nature of communication, although different platforms may assign privileges depending on the purpose. Examples of these are: Facebook, Gmail, WhatsApp, Forums, Chats.

Domain Registration

Once you are clear about the purpose of your website, you must register your domain, which will be the name or address by which people will find your project on the internet; in our case, it is mox.cl. Thousands of domains are registered every day, so it is possible that your domain is already registered and you may need to reconsider the name. Ideally, you should have several potential names so you can choose the domain that best suits you. There are many companies that can register your domain; at MOX, we have the best registration and renewal prices. To register your domain, you must: 1. Verify that your domain is available 2. Choose the extension you prefer (.COM, .NET, .ORG, .NINJA, etc.) 3. Complete the order. (If you don\'t have an account yet, you can register for free) If you wish to obtain a national extension (.CL, .AR, etc.), you must register with the NIC corresponding to your country. In the case of Chile, you must register at www.nic.cl, since the .CL extension is granted to the University of Chile.
