In Brief<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, we need to download the software from the official website<\/a>. Next, choose hosting and a domain.

Hosting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is the digital space occupied by your online store. It stores databases with all the information about the products you sell. Below you can find a list of example operators:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. dhosting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. SEOHost<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. JDM<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. KRU<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Hostinger<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    It’s worth paying attention to the server capacity where you will install your e-commerce, depending on your needs.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Domain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    This is simply the internet address of your online store. Each domain consists of two parts \u2014 the name and the element after the dot (e.g., webcrafters.pl). It’s best if the name is simple and catchy to make it easier for customers to remember our address and return to our site. Finding such a name can sometimes be quite a challenge because most easy and catchy names have already been reserved, and their price may surprise us. In such a situation, you need to approach the situation with more creativity and create a unique name that no one has reserved before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
