Critical Steps to Online Success - Launch your First Website-How to get it Hosted
This is your website-did you build it yourself--how many
pages have you designed?
If this is your first website and you are just getting
started at Internet Marketing you will only need to have 2
pages on your site: a "Sales or Offering" page for you
free giveaway plus your "Download" Page.
If you did it all yourself then it's probably up to you to
get it live on the web.
There are lots of hosting services available to you. Here
are a couple of ideas:
There are affordable solutions at "Host Gator" for hosting
($7.99 per month for hosting-a bit pricy) and Domain Condo
to register your domain ($3.99 to register--about as cheap
as it gets--and $3.99 per month for hosting-- recent
pricing).
I have used Network Solutions. They are the biggest I
understand but I find them quite expensive comparatively
and mostly slow and clunky. But that may not be everyone's
experience.
I now use "GoDaddy" pretty much exclusively and am very
happy with them-easy to use once you find your way around
and great support. A bare bones package is $7.99 to
register a domain and $3.99 per month for hosting.
Are the ones I mention above a better service than
GoDaddy? Honestly I don't know…I've never used them.
Once you have selected and registered your domain name
there will be a delay of 10 minutes to a couple of hours
before that domain is active.
You can then proceed to open a hosting account (for a
monthly fee). There will be another delay of 10 minutes to
a couple of hours before the domain is finally accessible.
The hosting company will send you an email with your
access information and password.
Now you can begin to upload your files to your web pages.
Keep on winning

Critical Steps to Online Success - Launch your First Website-How do you get a Domain Name?
What exactly do you need to do to get your website up and
live on the web?
Let's take a quick look at some terminology.
When you launch or publish your website to the web you
have two basic choices. Either you use your own server (not
a good idea unless you're seriously web and computer savvy
and have a powerful server) or you use a Web Hosting
Service Provider. For a small monthly fee these companies
will provide you with space on their hosting servers and
take care of all of the intricacies of getting your site up
and keeping it active.
But before you can get your website "hosted" you will need
to
select and register a "domain name" for your website.
A domain name is the body of the website URL you choose.
The part between the "www" and the ".com" plus it also
includes the extension like ".com" or ".net" etc. You might
find that "john.com" is already registered to someone else
but "john.us" is available…unlikely because "john" is such
a popular name.
These days you need to go through quite a number of
choices before getting a domain name you like. Most of the
good and easy ones have gone.
Just go to the Domain Name service of your choice and
enter some choices in the search box they provide on their
front page.
I like to stick with the ".com" extension because that's
the one most people default to. They remember your website
name and automatically add the ".com" on the end. Why fight
city hall and risk losing them.
If you can't seem to get a Domain name you like a good
trick is to add an extra word at the beginning or end of
your selection to find something that has not already been
taken. Quite often these days you will have to settle for
something longer than you would initially like.
Let's say you want "SuccessUnlimited.com".
Well unfortunately that's already taken.
But "MySuccessUnlimitedGroup.com" is still available…at
least it was when I checked today. So if you like that one
then
grab it quick.
