Ok, you've finally decided to start your online business. Now you need a domain and hosting – the place where your website will be stored.
Let’s figure out what kind of website you need: an online shop or a simple website without a payment gateway.
In this article, we’ll look at two easy solutions: Shopify for online shops and WordPress for information-based websites.
Just to clarify – both platforms can be used for blogs or online stores. But since we're just starting out, let's take it one small step at a time.
With Shopify, everything is super easy:
Shopify provides hosting, so you don’t need to worry about setting that up. All you need to do is buy a domain – which you can do directly from the admin panel:
Settings → Domains → Buy or connect the domain you want.
With WordPress, I recommend using GoDaddy. They offer a WordPress-specific hosting plan, which makes the setup process simple and beginner-friendly.
