Choose a domain name and register it. Domain name registration should cost around $8-10. Many hosting companies offer free or discounted domain name registration with the purchase of a web hosting plan.
Choose a web host and a hosting plan that is suitable for your needs. For startup bands, a free web page offers a no-cost web presence, but marks the site with ads that users may find offputting.
Choose the information and media you wish to display on the band web page. Band websites commonly have band portrait photographs and performance pictures. Many musicians offer songs or clips that the visitor can download or play in a streaming player.
Organize the pictures and information into categories that will become sections on your website. Common sections on professional music websites provide information about the band and its members, upcoming events, and resources to contact the band for bookings and purchases.
Use a website editor to arrange the information on a webpage. For your first website, keep the amount of information to the essentials that define what your band is about and announce upcoming events.
Use the uploading module for your hosting company to upload your website pages. Test the pages by opening them on another computer to make sure all files are uploaded and accessible to web users.
Maintain your website, including posting all shows. Updating infrequently or posting incomplete information will frustrate visitors.
