Website Building Q&A: How to Build a Website While It's Being Filed for Record

Yesterday's article sharedthe answer to "Do I need to file for a self-built website?"Then some friends might ask,"How to build a website while filing?"? Although the website cannot be accessed during the filing period, it does not mean that you cannot build a website while filing is in progress. If filing is underway, we have two ways to build a website.

Building a Website Using a Local Environment

What does it mean to build a website using a local environment? It means setting up a website environment on your local computer or server, building the website on it, and then migrating the website data to the filed server after the website is completed. For example, you can use a virtual machine on your own computer, install a Linux server, and theninstall LNMPorBaota Panel. During the installation process, keep all options and passwords the same as the information on the filed server, then modify the local hosts file to resolve the IP of your filed domain to the virtual machine's IP. This way, you can access the website data on the virtual machine through your filed domain. Once the filing is approved, you can directly upload all the data to the filed server, delete the locally resolved hosts file, and keep everything else unchanged.

Building a Website Using a Server That Does Not Require Filing

You can also purchase a temporary server for one month during the website filing period, such asVultr'spay-as-you-go VPS, use a subdomain to build the website on it, and then migrate the data to the filed server after the website filing is completed.

Better Suggestions

Of course, if you are a computer novice and don't understand any of the above, Naiba suggests you not rush to build a website during the filing period. You can use this time to carefully plan the website's content and structure. Once the website filing is approved, you can directly update articles, which is better. You can use Word to update some articles locally first. When the website filing is approved and the website is built, you can update a few written articles to the website daily, which is also friendly to search engines and beneficial for SEO.
