My husband will be the first to admit that he isn’t tech savvy when it comes to registering a domain, picking out a web host, and designing a site. I’m the Technical Content Strategist here at cPanel, so recently, when he asked me to help him build an online presence for his new law firm, I readily agreed.<\/p>\n

To get started, I first needed to select a domain name and registrar. GoDaddy<\/a> is a fun company and cPanel Partner that offered me a fair price, so I went with them. It pays to shop around people!<\/p>\n

Before continuing, I wondered how my husband would go about updating this site once it went live, and it was in his hands. So I did a little (OK, a lot) of research on website builders and decided to go with Weebly<\/a>. I found it to be the most user-friendly of the bunch and a good match for novices and experts alike. Even better, HostGator<\/a> offers Weebly’s plugin as part of cPanel. Website builder, check. Hosting provider, check.<\/p>\n

The final step was pointing the GoDaddy domain to the HostGator account. GoDaddy provides excellent documentation<\/a> on how to set nameservers for your domain names. All that’s left now is to dig into cPanel’s rich, customizable feature set.<\/p>\n

I expected a little legwork and decision making, but what I didn’t expect was how simple cPanel made the process. In fact, I’ve learned more about the platform through this experience than I have in the almost five years that I’ve worked for cPanel. Why should setting up a site be difficult anyway? Business owners have more important things to worry about, like engaging with their customer base. cPanel and the hosting companies that offer it get that.<\/p>\n

Obviously, there are many different routes that I could’ve taken as far as choosing a domain registrar, hosting provider, and website builder. Everyone has to decide what works best for them and their business. I was most surprised to learn how seamlessly cPanel, GoDaddy, Weebly, and HostGator worked together. Between their forums, articles, and support, I was able to find the perfect configuration for my husband’s budding law firm. When companies put the customer first, everyone wins.<\/p>\n
