How to Get Your Website Online: A Step-by-Step Guide to Launching Your Site.

1. Purchase a Domain

The domain name is the web address (www.myidea.com) where users can find your site.

You can purchase a domain at FlokiNET.

All you have to decide is on a TLC (for example: com, .net, org). Most of the TLCs we offer can help you register the domain anonymously. All we need from you is a valid e-mail address.

2. Choose a Web Hosting Plan

Web hosting is where your website’s files are stored and made accessible to visitors. FlokiNET provides shared hosting in four locations: Finland, Iceland, Romania, and the Netherlands. If you require additional resources, you can opt for a VPS (Virtual Private Server).

3. Set Up DNS

The Domain Name System (DNS) connects your domain name to your hosting server. You’ll need to configure your DNS settings correctly so that your domain points to your hosting server.

At FlokiNET we offer our own nameservers as well:

  • Nameserver 1: ns1.flokinet.net
  • Nameserver 2: ns2.flokinet.net
  • Nameserver 3: ns3.flokinet.net
  • Nameserver 4: ns4.flokinet.net

4. Build Your Website

Our Shared Hosting service is compatible with WordPress and includes special tools to install and manage your platform. Two of these tools include: Softaculous WordPress Manager and the WordPress Toolkit developed by CPanel itself.

5. Install SSL

Transport Layer Security (TLS) Certificates are used to authenticate a server and enable an encrypted connection between any visitor and the server.

On shared hosting, we offer Let’s Encrypt certificates for all configured domains for free.

6. Launch and Monitor

Once everything is set up, launch your site and monitor it for any issues. In case you need more details you can alway contact us at info@flokinet.is.

Join us for secure, reliable, and truly anonymous hosting, where your privacy is our top priority.
