Purchasing a Domain Name and Web-hosting

Before you create your blog, it’s necessary to purchase a domain name and web hosting. You can purchase a domain name for about US$10 a year, and web-hosting for around US$12 a month.

A domain name is a unique name given to a resource or service participating in the domain name system. This name is given to a unique address on the internet. An example of a domain name is ” Microsoft.com ” where a unique address is given to the Microsoft company’s website. The domain name of the blog you are reading here is: ” InternetNetworkMarketing-Training.com ”

Having a Domain name for your website is essential, and we recommend www.GoDaddy.com for purchasing your domain.

GoDaddy are one of the least expensive places to purchase a domain name, and they provide good service.

The best name for you to have is one which contains your main keywords. Watch this Video again to Learn More about Finding Optimal Keywords

Now, sometimes you cannot purchase a domain name with your main keywords (because someone else already has it), so you can add one (only one) hyphen to the name.

For example, if you decide to use the keywords ” dog nutritional business “, then you should look for a name something like DogNutritionalBusiness.com If you cannot get that name, you could try for one of these:

Dog-NutritionalBusiness.com

DogNutritional-Business.com

Or, you could add a word to the other keywords like this:

DogNutritionalBusinessBlog.com

Or, perhaps you could buy DogNutritionalBusiness.net (.net)

or DogNutritionalBusiness.org (.org)

So, as you can see, there is a choice.

We recommend HostGator for your web hosting, simply because it’s easy to work with the Blogs we show you how to install.
