Step 1. Register a Domain Name

To build a website, you first need to own a domain name. 西部数码 provides real-time domain registration. I don't have a domain name yet. How do I buy one?


Step 2. Prepare Servers and Websites

1. I already have a domain name. What should I do next?

Next, you need to start preparing website storage space. 西部数码 cloud virtual hosting and cloud servers are based on cloud computing. After more than ten years of development, they support trials and can perfectly combine with 西部数码 domain names. They support self-service resolution, one-click monitoring, etc., making management smarter and use more convenient.


2. What should I do if I don't have website space yet?

You can purchase cloud virtual hosting, elastic cloud host, or VPS server. These three different options can all meet website storage needs.


3. I already have a server, but I don't have a website yet. What should I do?

Step 3. Bind the Domain Name and Set Up Domain Name Resolution

Step 4. Domestic Hosting or Servers Require Website Filing


1. My website and server are ready. What should I do next?

According to relevant regulations, domestic servers used for website services all need to undergo filing (about 10-20 working days). Only after the filing is successful can the website be used. How do you carry out website filing? tells you how to file.

2. What if I don't want to file?

Hong Kong/Taiwan virtual hosting, US virtual hosting, the Asia data center of elastic cloud servers, and US-line VPS do not require filing. They are very suitable for enterprises that need to quickly deploy a website platform in a short time.


3. I have completed the filing. Can my website now be used normally?

You need to upload the website files you have prepared to the server web space. Only after the upload is successful can others browse your website. Refer to FTP Website Management
