You will have to choose a name for your website. Suppose I will choose Iloveshopping.com. Then you can buy the domain and host from various resources available on the internet. The domain is the website name or website address or the URL of the website whereas hosting means storing the website content on the servers. After doing that launch your website and you will see that your website is live on the internet. The next step is to log in to WordPress for which you can type /wp-admin at the end of your URL.

Example: Iloveshopping.com/wp-admin

This way you will be redirected to the page where you can log in to WordPress. After logging in, you will reach a page that will let you control your website. This is where the real work begins.

1. Now we will come to the next step that is website building. To build an e-commerce website easily you can import an already built site on WordPress and edit it.
2. Import the sample website or better said the theme whichever is most suitable to your website.
