Domain Names & Web HostingOk so you want to build a Website and publish it to the Internet. In order to do this you need a domain name and hosting for your site. If you don't know what a domain name is, it's a name for your site. For example www.google.com is Google's domain name and www.youtube.com is YouTube's domain name, these are just a couple of examples to show you. Now domain names are not free you do have to pay for them but fortunately they are very inexpensive. Depending on what kind of domain name you want to have you could spend anywhere from a dollar to $10.99 for one domain name. For example if you want a .com domain name it will be about $10 but if you want a .org it will probably cost you 99 cents the reason being is because .com domain names are very popular and when most people think of or try to remember the URL address of a site they think of .com not .org or .biz, .us, .gov ect. However your Website dose not need to be a .com in order for it to be successful and profitable. There are many services out online that sell domain names and all you have to do is go to one of these sites and redigster and it takes only minutes, getting a domain name is not a complicated time consuming procedure. So don't be intimidated. You can have it registered any ware from 1 year to 10 years. So a .com will be 10 dollars for 1 year but for ten years it will cost 100 dollars and you pay all at one so in other word you don't get billed once a year for 10 years. The reason you would register a domain for 10 years is because it makes your site look more creditable to the search engines. When Google looks at your site they see that your Website is more serious because it's registered for such a long period of time, they in turn will rank your site higher because they know you site is there to stay. If your looking for a domain name there are many provider out there as I said before on of the leading providers is Go Daddy and they have been around for a long time. Now as far as web hosting goes it basically creates a space for your Warpage to go. You need some sort of hosting service for Webpage to be indexed into the search engines. One thing I must tell you is DON'T GET FREE HOSTING! The reason being is that free hosting is not reliable and your site could drop off the Internet at anytime. It also doesn't look to professional either so even though it might be tempting because it's free, don't get it. Now there are hundreds of paid hosting providers out there available for you to use but some of them are better than others. Based on my research I have discovered ix web hosting to be the best hosting provider out there based on price, 24/7 customer support, bandwidth, being a trusted and a secure site and more. I have been using ix web hosting for a while and they are very good I have not had any problems with them since I singed up. Belive me I have looked at almost 60 other host providers ( yes there is a lot of them) and only 3 of them were superior but ix was the best out of the 3. ©2009-2010
