The popularity of online brands offering music and movie downloads, such as Youtube and iTunes, has many webmasters seeking a piece of the action. Plan a model for your website by asking yourself important questions about its design and purpose. Do you want your site to cater to particular demographic and community, or will it be more general like Youtube?
The next step is uploading your songs. Go down the list of blocks, and find the category called Embeds. Choose SoundCloud or Spotify and proceed. Go over to the site and copy the embed code. Create a new block, and embed your track or tracks in it. The content of the home page is up to you.
We decided to place another section that tells the readers to come to the next gig of this band. Upload a photo and write some text over it. Add a button that leads to the page with the list of gigs. You can add the button by going to the Layout Elements folder. You can repurpose most design elements.
For instance, this block is useless for a music website. Click on the extended menu and press Remove Block to delete it. Go to the main page and hit the Launch button. This is the stage where you should either buy a domain from WordPress or connect your own. Alternatively, you can export the website to post in on your own domain and hosting. Another benefit is that your site will belong to you. You won't have to worry about the site you're using becoming unpopular and having to build up your fan base from scratch again Like what happened to many people with Myspace , your fans will always know where to find you.

Without buying web space, there is no way to get your website online. Both of these things are easy to get hold of, and can be purchased at the same time from JustHost Disclosure: I get a commission if you sign up to JustHost using my link.
This is the hosting company I use for many of my websites. I have found them to be reliable, and the cheapest around for the level of service you get. This is because MIHT now gets thousands of visitors per day, and Justhost is more suited for websites which gets around 1, daily visits max. While WPX has some great features e. Then when you start getting over 1, or so visitors per day to your website and are making money from them, consider upgrading to WPX Hosting.
If you do use WPX hosting to make your website however, the set up process is pretty similar. Once you go on JustHost, you will need to sign up for a new account by choosing the option Need Website. On the next screen you will be able to pick your domain name, so make it a good one.
Maybe your band's name? On the same screen where is says coupon code , you will see there's a coupon already added. This will ensure you don't pay for your domain name, and that you get a reduced hosting price. Good times. Click to continue, then on the next screen enter your details and what pricing plan you want. I suggest you don't add any of the extras they try and offer you, other then the Domain Privacy.
If you don't add this, people will be able to look up who the website is registered to and see your real name and address. Not ideal for most, so ensure you get Domain Privacy. And that's it, you now have your own website name and web space. Pretty easy to set up right? Next we need to put a website on your web space.

Click New Installation on the next screen, and follow the instructions on the two screens after that. And that's it, within a minute or so you'll have your new website up and running. Make sure you save the details you add as the username and password for your WordPress install.
So for example, you'd type www. This will bring you to your WordPress dashboard, and allow you to edit your site. You can now visit your website in a new window and you should see your site coming together.
If it's not there yet, give it a few minutes to process and try again. Now that you've got WordPress set up, I suggest you take a few minutes to look around and get used to the WordPress Dashboard. Everything is pretty clearly marked out, so get familiar with some of the tasks you can carry out. If you aren't feeling particularity adventurous at this stage, no worries. We're going to walk you through the other stages of how to make a music website anyway.
