    - The website to be checked for the catalogue that can be static or graphical in nature as it consists of pictures, audio and video.

    - The website content need to be checked as whether it is text or graphics based to see the space being used by the platform.

    - The amount of disk space is to be checked so that the content can be hosted on the website.

      Before uploading your website to a hosting platform, there are several steps you should ensure to ensure a smooth and successful deployment. Here are the key steps to follow:
      1. Domain Name: Register a domain name and ensure it is properly configured to point to your hosting platform. This involves setting up the domain's DNS (Domain Name System) records, including the A record or CNAME record, to map the domain to the hosting server's IP address.
      2. Website Files: Prepare all the necessary website files, including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and any other assets required for your website. Ensure that the files are organized correctly, and all dependencies are included.
      3. Website Database: If your website requires a database, ensure it is properly set up on the hosting platform. Create the necessary tables and populate them with any initial data required for your website to function correctly.
      4. File Transfer: Use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or a file manager provided by your hosting platform to transfer the website files from your local machine to the hosting server. Make sure the files are placed in the correct directory or document root specified by the hosting platform.
      5. Configuration Settings: Review and configure any necessary settings for your website, such as database connection details, file permissions, email settings, and any other relevant configurations. These settings may vary depending on your specific hosting platform or content management system (CMS) being used.
      6. Testing: Before making your website live, thoroughly test it on the hosting platform. Verify that all pages and functionality are working as intended, including links, forms, database interactions, and any dynamic content. Test across different browsers and devices to ensure compatibility.
      7. Security Measures: Implement security measures to protect your website from potential vulnerabilities. This includes using SSL certificates for secure HTTPS connections, configuring firewall rules, applying necessary updates and patches, and employing best practices for secure coding.
      8. Backup: Create a backup of your website files and database to ensure you have a copy in case of any unforeseen issues or data loss. Regularly schedule backups to avoid losing important data.
      9. Performance Optimization: Optimize your website for performance by minifying and compressing files, optimizing images, and implementing caching techniques. This helps improve loading times and overall user experience.
      10. DNS Propagation: Keep in mind that after uploading your website, it may take some time for the DNS changes to propagate globally. This process can take up to 48 hours, during which your website may be accessible to some users but not to others.
