Author Website: Choosing a Website Platform
After securing your Website Hosting Service, you will then need to determine the type of internet platform you want to create and run your website on. All Website Hosting Services usually make use of their own inhouse platforms designed specifically for and around their particular services as well as most commonly used internet platforms used throughout the internet world. Unless you are a computer nerd and know how to code HTML, PHP, CSS and JavaScript, you will need to use an existing web platform to set up your website. Luckily, there are a lot to choose from.
