You are starting a business and your going to need a website. Maybe you are already running a business but you don’t have a website yet. If it’s the latter then you need to set up a site now, Go. Do it. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Seriously, Is there anyone out there that doesn’t realize that your business HAS TO BE ONLINE?
Ok, When I think about starting a company, and I’m looking for a business name I start by looking for a domain name. This is true even if it’s not an “online” business.
Step 1.
Here is a link to godaddy to get you started looking for that perfect domain name. I have all my domains at Godaddy now. They have GREAT management utilities and they are cheap!
Step 2.
Once you have a great domain, it’s time to find some hosting. This can be a confusing thing with all the options that are out there.
I reconmend using hostgator, host one site for under $5 a month, host unlimited sites for under $10 a month and they use the best web panel ‘cPanel’. Better yet they inclued ‘Fantastico’ which will help you get wordpress set up with one easy click. (I reconmend using wordpress for almost every site)
click on the Big Mean Gator before he eats the whole letter H will ya?! Get your hosting set up and install wordpress!
Step 3.
Head over to this site and find yourself a nice wordpress theme, start writing content, make some videos and get that site looking great!
I know step 3 seems a bit short, but it really is that simple. I will dive into more details on the site building and design soon…..
