There are different <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Web_hosting_service#Types%20of%20hosting\">hosting types available<\/a>. Most commonly used hosting is Shared web hosting. Even though the Free web hosting is used most of the users prefer the Shared hosting and VPS hosting. Beginners can start with a free web hosting account and go for the Shared and the VPS hosting types based on the budgets.<\/li>\n<li>Development tools: After all the <a href=\"http:\/\/itechgenie.com\/myblog\/2012\/10\/top-things-to-look-at-before-developing-a-web-site-part-1\/\">above elicitations<\/a>are done the development process can be started. The below tools can be used to make the development faster.\n<ol>\n<li>Search domain name <a href=\"http:\/\/www.godaddy.com\/domains\/search.aspx\">here<\/a> and check if it is already registered. If it\u2019s already registered the site might display set of alternative domain names available.<\/li>\n<li>Set up a local environment and test your website. Use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apachefriends.org\/en\/xampp-windows.html\">XAMPP<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/kb\/323972\">IIS<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/tomcat.apache.org\/tomcat-7.0-doc\/appdev\/\">Tomcat<\/a> to setup Local environments with PHP, .Net, Java languages respectively.<\/li>\n<li>Use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kompozer.net\/download.php\">Komposer<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/Amaya\/User\/BinDist.html\">Amaya<\/a> to develop the PHP type websites. Obviously only the Visual Studio is used to develop .Net type websites. I prefer using the Eclipse and its plugins to develop the PHP and Java type sites. They provide a very good interface to design, develop and test, integrating with the Local servers.<\/li>\n<li>Use FTP clients like <a href=\"http:\/\/filezilla-project.org\/download.php\">Filezilla<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.net2ftp.com\/homepage\/download.html\">Net2Ftp<\/a> to upload the tested local files to the web servers.<\/li>\n<li>Many Open source tools that are alternative to the proprietary software are available <a href=\"http:\/\/itechgenie.com\/myblog\/2011\/02\/open-source-softwares-top-alternatives-for-proprietary-softwares\/\" title=\"Open Source Softwares \u2013 Top alternatives for proprietary softwares\">Here<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/itechgenie.com\/myblog\/2011\/02\/open-source-softwares-top-alternatives-for-proprietary-softwares-part-2\/\" title=\"Open Source Softwares \u2013 Top alternatives for proprietary softwares \u2013 Part 2\">Here<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li>CMS tools: Instead of developing a whole website from scratch, there are a lot of Content Management Systems available in the market to make the development time easier and faster. Some commonly used CMS tools are WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc. The WordPress is most widely used CMS for blogging. Similarly select a tool to that suits the site type.<\/li>\n<li>Testing for Browser support: Once the development of the site is completed the testing phase comes in place. Even though the testing is one of the Development Life Cycle step, the Browser support check is a most important thing to deliver your website to your clients as you wish them to be. This is one of the important advantages when using the CMS tools. Because the development community takes care of all these things so that you don\u2019t need to put your time in. The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.my-debugbar.com\/wiki\/IETester\/HomePage\">IE Tester<\/a> is used to check test the website display in the Internet Explorer versions from IE6 to IE10 While writing this article. Alternatively there are a lot of online tools to do the same.
