The overall steps of making a website are simple:
1. Register a domain name for your website
2. Get web hosting for your website
3. Link the domain and web hosting
4. Install a CMS (Content Management System) such as WordPress, or code the website using HTML, PHP, JS, etc.
5. Customize, upload, edit, publish!

Hosting providers I recommend include:
VeeroTech for speed and quality web hosting for affordable prices
NameCheap for cheap hosting
https://MehonalHosting.com is literally hosting I offer, so of course I recommend it ;)
Anything in the r/webhosting subreddit's sidebar is often a good host. It gets updated regularly so you can check there to keep up to date with good web hosting providers.
If you're a developer looking to code on a website, I highly recommend DigitalOcean droplets.

Domain registrars I recommend include:
NameCheap: Affordable domain names with set prices on registration and renewal, and better privacy than most other domain registrars.
Google Domains: It's certainly more different
Amazon Route 53: An option for more advanced users that are looking to set up web-apps, and more.
