Can you build a website in one hour?

Yes. Here is a step by step guide on how to do it with NameCheap.

Goal: Get your website up and running. This means it’s live on the internet and ready for you to customize later. Focus is only on the setup part.

  1. Choose a name for your website (I assume you already have something in mind).
  2. Head to Namecheap’s domain name search and check the domain name is free. If not, choose something else that is.
  3. Buy the domain name. I bought mine for less than 20 € per year.
  4. Buy SSL for your domain. You need this so your website can look trustworthy. SSL costs less than 10 € per year. Getting SSL might take a moment, so it’s best to do this as soon as you have bought the domain name.
  5. Buy hosting. I chose Shared Hosting (less than 50 € per year).
  6. Open Hosting list. There should be a button that lets you open cPanel. Head there.
  7. Under Softaculous Apps Installer, choose WordPress.
  8. Go through the installation process (give the details you wish to give).
  9. Done. It might take a few minutes until your site goes active.

Good luck with your website!
