Today we will possibly spend some money. From yesterday we have a website that is ready to be put on the web. So, first we need a domain name. If you already have one and want to use that, go ahead and do so. If you need a new one, try to find a domain name that has your main keyword in it. So for example, if your website it about “diet” you will not find diet.com available. But instead try domains like bestdiettips.com or mydietresources.com You get the idea? Good. A word of caution, do NOT register your domain with godaddy! The company is run by a religious fanatic and they are known to hijack their customers domains and ask you for $100 to be allowed to take back control. Search google if you don’t believe me.
You can register domains at DomainFever.com. This is not an affiliate link. I am not making any money sending you there.
Now that you have a domain name, you need web hosting. DomainFever does offer web hosting, but you can get a better deal at PepServer.com. If you prefer to have domain name and hosting with the same company, you can get the domain name a bit cheaper from pepserver.com but you have to ask them to register it. It’s not fully automated yet.
Now that you have your domain name and hosting account, go ahead and build your website. Then upload the website to your hosting account.
Money spent: $100 on day 1 for hypervre, $14.95 for the domain name, $4.95 a month for hosting
