How to Set Up a Website: A Technical Setup Checklist

Setting up a website means preparing the domain and server, choosing the platform, configuring the admin panel, SSL, business email, security, backups, technical SEO, analytics and KVKK-compliant forms.

Setting up a website is the technical foundation behind design and content. A complete setup covers:

  • a domain registered in your own name,
  • suitable hosting, VPS or cloud server,
  • the platform choice: builders and themes versus a custom infrastructure,
  • an admin panel with user roles,
  • SSL, strong passwords, two-factor authentication and security headers,
  • automatic off-server backups that are tested,
  • business email with SPF, DKIM and DMARC,
  • technical SEO: clean URLs, sitemap, schema.org, canonicals, redirects,
  • analytics and conversion tracking,
  • KVKK texts and consent forms.

Common mistakes are keeping credentials with one person, storing backups on the same server and overloading the site with plugins. Racoun sets up sites on its own infrastructure and manages email, hosting, SSL and backups through Pedante Bilişim.
