How to get a domain name and connect to your hosting The first things you'll need when you decide to make a website with Wordpress is a domain name and a hosting account. While you can buy your domain name at the same place you get your web hosting service, I prefer and recommend that you keep your domain name registar separate from your hosting account. This means that after you get a domain name and web hosting that you will have to connect them together via the DNS name servers...relax, it's an easy process, and you'll have all the info that you need if you watch this video. I recommend that after you buy your domain name(s) that you get web hosting at HostGator...I use them myself so I can say without reservations, that I recommend using Host Gator to host your websites. Connect domain name to hosting Hostgator Host Gator Wordpress Website (Industry) DNS name servers Make a website with Wordpress Web Hosting Service (Website Category) Modofac007 To connect your domain name to your hosting, you will have to have the name servers (usually 2) from your hosting account.

After you connect your domain name to your hosting account via the DNS name servers, you will have to wait...a few hours, or even a day or so.

How to choose a good domain name. Click here for FREE WordPress tutorials,tips, and more: http://wphow2s.com This video will give you some pointers on choosing a good domain name for your website or blog. For FREE WhoisGuard Protection, use NameCheap: http://www.namecheap.com/?aff=46941 (Yes, I do receive a small--very small :) -- commission if you buy a domain using my link above) How to Choose a Good Domain Name Everything online starts with a domain name-without a domain name nobody can find your site online. The importance of domain name is sometimes overlooked. Is it easy by just reading your domain name to know what you do and what your website is about and what your business is about? Is your domain name relevant? Is it easily remembered? It seems like all the good domain names are taken already. Have you ever had a great domain name idea, and go to buy it and it's already taken, or someone wants a ton of money for it? It's true that many good domain names are taken, but you can still choose a good domain name for your website, if you use some common sense and creativity. Hpw to find a domain name? There are some good websites that will make it easy to see if a domain name is available quickly, saving you time. I like instantdomainsearch dot com. How to choose a domain name registrar and how to buy a domain name? There are many, many companies out there, but the 2 I use are Godaddy and NameCheap. GoDaddy is very big and reliable, and domain registration is easy, just say no to all their offers. NameCheap is also very reliable, and also offer free Whois Guard protection. But don't buy web hosting at these companies, not the best place to do that--I use HostGator myself. how to choose a domain name how to choose a personal domain name how to choose a domain name seo how to choose a domain name for your business how to choose a domain name for your blog domain registration web hosting how to choose a website name how to choose a domain name registrar how to find a domain name how to buy a domain name So, how to choose a good domain name is just a process--many domain names aren't available but you can still find a good website name.
