How to Start a Review Website (8 Steps)

Decide on a topic to review. Choose a topic that you are interested in or have expertise in to help with writing reviews.
Decide how the website will be hosted. A host is the location that your website will be stored. There are free hosting options offered by some websites with a variety of available options. For a more permanent option, consider purchasing a domain name and web hosting for a monthly fee.
Decide how you will build the website. If you have web development experience and wish to create the website by hand, search for helpful tutorials in HTML coding and CSS styling to aid you in development. If you are new to creating web content, consider using a website with tutorials for creating free websites.
Plan the features your website will provide. Some features a review website may have could include forums for users to discuss reviews or, for a movie review example, discuss other movies and post requests for other reviews. A review site could have video clips and an image gallery related to the review topic.

How to Create a Joomla Web Site (12 Steps)

Log in to your website's administrative panel and locate the Fantastico icon, which is usually a smiley face. Click this icon to begin the Joomla installation process.
From the main Fantastico Web page, locate and click on the Joomla 1.5 hot link and select the new Joomla installation option.
By default, a new installation will assume that you will be installing Joomla into the root directory of your website (www.yoursite.com), which is usually the case. If your requirements dictate a different directory, the process does allow you to do so easily.
Assign an administrator user name and password. These credentials will be used to log in to the back end of the website, where most of the work will take place (www.yoursite.com/administrator).
Assign the administrator email address, administrator full name and the name of your website. This information can all be changed later if needed.
Lastly, you are presented an option to install sample data. If you lack Joomla experience, the sample data will be invaluable to help you learn where everything is, what it does, and how it was configured. Then, click the Install button.

How to Reserve Domain Names with No Hosting Service

First, find out if your domain name is available...
You can check if a domain name is available by doing a simple search of the term 'check domain availability' and several tools and sites will be listed. If the desired domain name is available you can move on to the next step. If it is not available you should do another search to on whois.net to find out when it will expire within your needed time frame. Repeat this step until you find a domain name that will work.
Next, Do a comparison of domain name pricing...
Do a comparison of companies that offer the option to purchase or reserve a domain name. By purchasing an available domain name you will reserve that address for a website at some point in time. If the domain name is not available and you would like to reserve it in case it expires you will have additional fees. Since you are not looking at a hosting service you do not need to compare features. In this step you are just comparing pricing to reserve or purchase a domain name.
Then, reserve the domain name but don't get a hosting service to save money...
After you choose a company make sure they have a domain name reservation option, so that you can just reserve or purchase the domain name. Unless you are ready to put up a website you do not need hosting with your domain name. A domain name with a hosting service will cost much more per year so save the money until you are ready to build a website.
Last, keep your domain name account current and active...
Domain names often expire without owners knowing. If you have hosting services you get constant reminders but as the owner of a domain name it is your responsibility to keep track of it. Consider signing up for recurring billing to ensure that you don't lose the domain name. Without an organized system or recurring billing you may lose the rights to a domain name you wanted to reserve. Continue to do this step so when you are ready to build your website the domain name will be good to go.

How to Add a CNAME (6 Steps)

Log into your account at the website of the company where you purchased your domain name. If you have a Web hosting account with another company, and you transferred DNS management to the new company's name servers, log into the Web hosting site instead. If you're not sure which company controls your DNS settings, first try the Web hosting company and then the domain registrar.
Find the website's DNS management page. Depending on which company you use, the location of this page on the website will vary. You can often find it by selecting 'DNS Management,' 'DNS Settings,' 'DNS Hosts,' 'Zone Editor' or something similar. On some sites, you may have to first select the 'Domains' option and then select the name of your domain.
Find the section of the DNS settings page that allows you to add a new record. In some cases, you may need to click 'Add Record,' 'Edit' or something similar. The website will ask you for up to four pieces of information: a record type, a host name or alias, a value or destination, and a time delay or 'TTL.'
Set the record type to 'CNAME,' and then enter the new domain prefix in the host name or alias field. For example, if you are creating the 'pictures.mywebsite.com' subdomain, enter 'pictures' in this field. Do not add a period at the end of your entry -- you DNS editor will do this automatically.
Set the value or destination field to the location or address to which the new subdomain should point. For example, if you are creating a subdomain called 'pictures.mywebsite.com' that should point to an image folder on your Web server, you might enter 'mywebsite.com/data/images' as the value or destination. You can also point subdomains to other websites. For example, if you have Tumblr blog and want readers to be able to access it from your own website, you might create the subdomain 'blog.mywebsite.com'. In this case, you would enter 'domains.tumblr.com.' (including the last period inside the quotes) as the value or destination.
Leave the TTL setting at the default value and then save the new entry. The CNAME record should become active within four hours, although it can sometimes take up to eight hours for the new information to propagate to all of the other DNS servers on the Internet.
