While you can find many platforms with which to run your website, self-hosted Woo commerce s is our hands down recommendation.To be sure, there are quite a few popular options! You have likely heard of Magento and Opencart, both similar self-hosted platforms. Meanwhile Shopify and Bigcommerce are a few hosted options.

Phew! That’s already five different options. i could bore you with a details of all the differences, but i’ll save you a lot of time by focusing on my recommendation, Woo commerce. None of the rest compare when it comes to working and learning, alongside the full ownership of your content and code.You should host your website using a self-hosted installation of WordPress, which means you own and control your own website.

  • Easy setup – WordPress needs little or no time to induce acquainted
  • Runs on WordPress – therefore doesn’t have powerful server necessities
  • Good variety of lower-priced add-ons and themes accessible
  • Huge WordPress support community

Since you’ll be self-hosting WordPress as your platform, that means you need to pick out a hosting company. When you get hosting, you’re renting out space on a server where your website will live. This is where your WordPress files will be so anyone can access them at any time, from anywhere in the world.

we recommend AWS( Amazon web Service ) over other options because i’ve had good experience with it. Not only that , Amazon web service comes highly recommended by the team over at wordpress, the e commerce platform you will be using.

According to the AWS website, the bouquet of featured services includes the following:

  • Amazon EC2 – Elastic virtual servers in the cloud
  • Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) – Scalable storage in the cloud
  • Amazon Aurora – High-performance managed relational database
  • Amazon DynamoDB – Managed NoSQL database
  • Amazon RDS – Managed relational database service for MySQL, PostgreSQL,
  • Oracle, SQL Server, and MariaDB
  • AWS Lambda – Run code without thinking about servers

Pick a Domain Name Snazzyway India

A good domain alone won’t ensure your website is popular, it can certainly help by being catchy and intuitive. Choosing a domain name can take long time if you let yourself get stuck in the procedure. It’s a good idea to spend little time testing domain ideas, but don’t let it be the cause you never move forward with your website.

Please note that your chosen domain name may already be taken; you may need to try a few different names before you find one that hasn’t already been registered. If you find this process a little frustrating, remember this: your domain name doesn’t have to be permanent. If you’re not 100% happy with your domain name, you can always change it in the future .

Here are a few basic guidelines for choosing a domain:

  1. It should be “catchy ”, so it sounds like a real brand when someone reads it.
  2. Additionally, the brand name you choose should be easily pronounceable.
  3. In the same vein, it should be easy to spell.
  4. The shorter, the better.
  5. If you can, get the .com – people still tend to trust these over others. The next best options are .co and .net
  6. Check that your name doesn’t infringe on copyrights or trademarks.
  7. While you’re at it, be sure it doesn’t sound too much like another brand in general to avoid confusion.
  8. Avoid numbers and hyphens, as they complicate things when trying to remember the domain.

Once you’ve found an available name you love, register it quickly. Domains sell fast, and you’re trying to launch a blog with a name you’re proud of.
