How are website makers made? - Fin - 04-28-2014 05:00 PM
I've always wondered, how are the websites that allow you to make/publish websites made?
Like Wix, Webs, Yola, Moonfruit, 1&1, 123-reg etc
Surely if these websites have the ability to register domains, anybody can do it?
Say, if i want to create a website that allows people to also make websites and register a domain name, how would I do that?
Thanks

Basically the same way any website is made. There are different codes that control different functions to make the new website be created. Think of it as building a house the foundation then the building blocks.

You go on a training course at college.

Sites just as Wix, Webs, Yola, Moonfruit, 1&1, 123-reg, etc heavily use web programming languages like PHP, Javascript, CSS, Ajax, etc and database systems like SQL server
There are some domain name registrars & web hosting services like 1&1, 123-reg, GoDaddy, NameCheap, Name.com, etc. There's an organistation called ICANN, which regulates domain name registration
After successful payment, they register your domain on Domain Name System (DNS) which is a distributed database mapping text names to IP addresses. This way you only need to remember http://www.google.com, for example, instead of 74.125.224.72
Try typing 74.125.224.72 into your web browser's address bar and you'll find that the IP address opens up Google.com
If you want to let people make websites that you'll have to master web programming languages like PHP, Javascript, CSS, Ajax, etc and database systems like SQL server
