So we have a domain name, now what else is needed?  Well you must be able to host the domain name over the Internet.

Most domain name registrars will also offer this package, but it soon became apparent that better options were available if one chose to do their homework first. It’s amazing how technology has gotten better over the years & the same with businesses needing to have a competitive edge with prices. What used to be a small monthly fee has now become a small annual fee. It’s amazing!

Recently, I’ve managed to:

  1. Discover a community that helps you build a successful online business
  2. Setup a domain through them AND
  3. They also host & have other positives

It’s really made it a no-brainer, keep in all under the same umbrella & that’s why I love Wealthy Affiliate . Feel free to ask any questions!

Domain Name & Registrars

Domain Name

A DOMAIN NAME is the world wide web address you want your website to be at, e.g. Wealthy Affiliate. In my opinion the DOMAIN NAME is a critical part of your business. It quickly sets the tone of your website.

In saying that though, I have noticed people trying to cram a whole sentence as part of their domain. This deters me from their site immediately as:

  • It’s too wordy & hard to type out all the time without bookmarking
  • It’s hard to remember or doesn’t stand out from similar websites &
  • It doesn’t look profession

I like unique domains personally, it helps me remember them more than long-winded ones. It’s like Apple Computer, Inc doesn’t sell apples you know? But who would’ve thought that this fruit would be instantly recognisable, glowing on the front of someone’s laptop?! How simple is that logic?!

It’s a weird Branding Strategy that works! This made me wonder how Apple Computer, Inc co-founders Steve Jobs & Steve Wozniak discovered the name? Are apples related to computers?  View full article »

Here you will find the tools needed to setup your own website.  For starters you need to invest in the following:

  1. A Domain Name
  2. Web Hosting Service Provider
  3. Web Editor
  4. File Transfer Protocol
  5. Cloud Backup Storage
  6. Graphic Editors

UPDATE: 5 years later & I honestly can’t believe I’ve found one place that accommodates everything under the one umbrella! Wealthy Affiliate is a business building platform online. You can either log in under a Starter Account, which will give you access to 2x free websites through SiteRubix or upgrade to a Premium Member so that you can buy a Domain Name through SiteRubix too as well. Hosting is inclusive under the Premium Membership too. Some added features include:

  • Database Monitoring
  • Malware & Virus Monitoring
  • Filesystem Monitoring
  • Hacking & Intrusion Monitoring
  • Site Performance Monitoring

But that’s not all, you’re also part of an awesome community, so if you’re stuck building a website, you have support just a click away in Live Chat – 24/7! This site has become so addictive, I can see progress & have been plodding along throughout the wee hours of the morning. Next minute, I’m stumped scratching my head at 3am & people are always around to help you out!  It’s just awesome!
