Create an account (or get web hosting)
If you pick your CMS, the next step is to register an account - unless you choose WordPress. One thing you must consider is making use of a strong password. These websites always place a high value on your safety. So use a strong, unique password to get into your accounts.
If you intend to develop your e-Commerce site with WordPress, the next step is to obtain a web hosting plan. The best web hosting services provide a free domain name, a free SSL certificate, and one-click WordPress installation, which removes the need to manually join your domain and hosting to WordPress. If you're using a website builder like Shopify, Squarespace, Square Online, or Wix, go to the provider's website and sign up for an account. If your selected CMS supports it, register your domain name using the CMS to avoid the requirement for manual domain configuration. If your selected CMS does not allow you to get a domain name, register your domain through a domain name registrar. A domain name should be easy to remember and type, therefore avoiding unusual spellings. Make it easy to pronounce, since you want them to tell their friends about it. Avoid hyphens and numerals since they make it more difficult for others to share the web URL. Aim to make your domain name 6-14 characters in length, making it easier for your customer to remember.
