What are the steps to build a website?
Building a website is a sequence, not one purchase. Register the domain, place the files on hosting, create the pages, then add mail on that name if the business needs it. WebJi® can supply each of those steps, or you can split them. Begin with domain registration in India, then match the host and the way you will build pages.
- Register the domain name.
- Put the site on hosting and point the domain at it.
- Build the pages.
- Add email on that domain if the business will send mail from it.
- Launch, then give Google a sitemap.
Do I need a domain name before hosting?
You may pay for hosting before the name exists, but visitors cannot open your brand until the domain is registered and DNS points at that host. Check the spelling before you print it. The domain availability check runs that search. Register a term you will remember to renew, or the registry can let the name go.
- Hosting can be ordered first. The public name cannot resolve until the domain exists.
- DNS is what joins the name to the host. Until those records are in place, the brand address stays dark.
- Renew the domain on its own cycle. Hosting renewal does not renew the name.
Which hosting fits a new website?
A brochure or a blog fits shared hosting plans. Launch is ₹299 a month or ₹2,868 a year, Turbo is ₹399 a month or ₹3,828 a year, and Scale is ₹699 a month or ₹6,588 a year. Read on 4 November 2026. 18% GST is added on the invoice. The panel is ControlPanel.Systems, not cPanel.
| Situation | What fits |
|---|---|
| Brochure or blog | Shared hosting. Launch is the smallest of the three plans. |
| WordPress you will edit | WordPress hosting, rather than a plain file account. |
| Shop, or anything that needs root | Not the smallest shared plan. Shared accounts do not include root. |
| You specifically want cPanel | A separate cPanel product. These shared plans use ControlPanel.Systems. |
A shop, or any site that needs root access, should not stay on the smallest shared plan. These shared accounts do not include root. If you need cPanel specifically, that product is cPanel hosting, and it is not bundled here. A WordPress site can use WordPress hosting instead of a generic file account.
Should I use an AI builder, WordPress, or a designed site?
Choose an AI builder when you want a first draft from a short brief and a person still checks it. Choose WordPress when you will edit posts, a shop or plugins yourself. Commission a designed site when the layout and the flow are custom and you will not assemble them. These are three different jobs.
- AI builder: a first draft from a short brief, then a human review.
- WordPress: you edit posts, a shop or plugins yourself.
- Designed site: custom layout and flow, assembled for you.
WebJi® drafts that first version on the AI website builder, and a person reviews it before you publish. The longer path for that route is how to create a website using AI. This page only helps you choose.
When the site will be WordPress, the build steps are how to create a website using WordPress. This page is the overview, not those build steps.
If you will not assemble the pages, website design services is the designed-site project. The fee is quoted there. It is not a line on the shared hosting table.
Publishing with no software bill is a different constraint. That guide is how to create a website for free. This page does not promise a free website.
How do I add email on my own domain?
Email on your own domain is a mailbox such as you@yourbrand.in, not a free inbox that only displays the brand. Order it apart from the website files. The product page is business email hosting, and the mailbox price stays there so this guide does not copy another price list. 18% GST is added on the invoice.
- Keep the domain registered. Mail cannot live on a name you do not control.
- Create the mailbox on the email host, as you@yourbrand.in.
- Publish the mail host's DNS records, including MX and the SPF, DKIM and DMARC values it gives you.
- Send a test to an outside inbox and reply to it before you print the address.
What does the first year cost in India?
There is no single first-year bill, because the name, hosting, mail and design are charged apart. For hosting, Launch is ₹2,868 a year, Turbo is ₹3,828 a year and Scale is ₹6,588 a year, the same as ₹299, ₹399 and ₹699 a month. Read on 4 November 2026. 18% GST is added on the invoice.
| Shared plan | Monthly | Yearly total |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | ₹299 | ₹2,868 |
| Turbo | ₹399 | ₹3,828 |
| Scale | ₹699 | ₹6,588 |
Shared hosting prices read on 4 November 2026, before 18% GST. 18% GST is added on the invoice. The panel is ControlPanel.Systems.
The domain, the mailbox and a designed site are separate bills. Their prices stay on their own pages. Do not add an unknown domain fee to ₹2,868 and call the sum the cost of a website.
How do I launch and get indexed on Google?
Launch means the name resolves, the pages open on a phone, and the contact path works. Indexing is the next job: allow crawling, then submit a sitemap in Google Search Console. Do that after the website launch checklist, so Google is not asked to store a half-built site. Paying for hosting does not submit the site.
- Point DNS at the host and confirm the name opens the site.
- Read every main page on a phone and fix broken links.
- Confirm the browser shows a valid certificate.
- Create a sitemap and submit it in Google Search Console.
- Ask Google to fetch the public homepage only after the checklist is done.
