The Total Guide To Starting A Website.

This is a simple guide, so I wont go into very much details (ie method how to make $100/day with Adsense).

I am not associated nor affiliate with any of the sites mentioned in this article.

Registering a Domain

Your domain plays a very important role in SEO. SEO is Search Engine Optimization. When registering a domain, there are few stuff you have to consider.

-The shorter the domain, the better.

-Your domain must contain your main keyword(s).

-I highly recommend a .com or a .net because of SEO.

-Make the domain easy to remember.

A domain like howtomakemoneyonlin dot com is way too long, even though it is right to the point, onlinemoney dot com is a much better domain, or .net if the .com isnt available.

If you are going to make a site and you want to rank your domain for certain countries, like if you are going to make a site specifically for UK, then you would consider getting a UK domain extension (.co.uk) , and if you are Indian and will be writing in Indian language, then an Indian domain extension (.in) would work the best. This means if your domain extension is .co.uk, then you would be targeting Google.co.uk , since you want people from UK to come to you, and you would rank for Google.co.uk.

If your site is going for worldwide, then .com or .net is the best. But of course if you cannot afford $9-$10 then you would either have to wait for a $1 .com coupon from Godaddy, or you would have to buy a .info (which is from $0.9-$2.5, depending on the registrars). If you have $0, I would recommend you to go with http://Blogger.com since its owned by Google.com, and is extremely easy to setup, and Google will help it rank (but not alone of course).

Here is a list of the top domain registrars.

NameCheap dot com

Godaddy dotdot com

1and1 dot com

Name dot com

Register dot com

The prices are different for different domain extensions.

Searching for a Web-Host

Web hosting is simply where you host your website, in better words, where you keep the sites files. This is needed for a site.

Dont get frightened because I said files, you dont have to have any skills to make a site, you dont have to know how to code or design. 99% of the hosts have Fantastico, it is a tool which is you will get when you buy a host. Fantastico makes life simpler, There are many programs which you can install with 1 click using Fantastico, you will just have to enter the basic details (site title, description, email, username, password etc).

Well I recommend you to install Wordpress (under Blogs in Fantastico). Wordpress has extremely good plugins, and they are very easy to install, and surely will help in SEO and other stuff (depending on what plugins you use).

And another reason to use Wordpress is because Wordpress has lots and lots of themes, any kind of theme you can think of, even company themes.

Here is a list of Paid Web Hosts:

Hostgator dot com

Fatcow dot com

BlueHost dot com

JustHost dot com

HostMonster dot com

WebHostingPad dot com

List of Free Web Hosts (I recommend paid)

hosting dot eu dot pn

biz dot ht

100webspace dot com

byethost dot com

biz dot nf

freehostia dot com

awardspace dot com

I havent used any of the free hosts above, so if something happens to your site, it is your own responsibility.

I am not sure if free hosts have fantastico, but if they dont, its very easy to install wordpress.

I have already mentioned the basics about Wordpress, now once you have installed it etc, here are good plugins to use.
