creating a website for your business

If you'd like a workflow or a checklist for getting your website and your online business set up, then it would go like this:

First, you'll need to register your domain name. If you aren't sure, your domain name is the address or URL to your website -- it's kinda like a street address for your website. What's important to note here is that you can never OWN your domain name.

Instead, you have to renew it periodically...and if you don't, you risk losing it! In order to register your domain name, you'll need to use what's called a "domain name registrar."

There are plenty to choose from, but in the Show Notes below, I'll leave a link to my recommended registrar as well as links to tutorials that'll walk you through the entire process.

Next, you'll need to sign up for web hosting. Your hosting is simply the space online where your website is stored. You have plenty of web hosts to choose from...many are fantastic...however some are pretty terrible and it can be difficult to know which hosts are good and which ones aren't.

To help you get started, once again I'll leave some links and resources for you in the Show Notes below. Now you may have seen web hosts who offer you a free domain name when you sign up...and you might be wondering why I've separated these two.

That's because you want to set yourself up in the best way possible...and that means keeping all your main web services separate. This means using different vendors for your domain name and your web hosting.

And that free domain they're promising you? You'll actually often wind up paying MORE if you go with a "free" domain name from a web host...
