Identify Your Domain Name

First you need to identify yourself by thinking of a cool website name and a distinct web address. A catchy and distinctive web address is a key to the success for your webpage. First impression lasts, and the first thing that your potential customers would see and remember is your web address or the URL address (i.e. www.mycoolwebsite.com)

The web address plays a vital role in shaping your potential customer’s view about you, your business and what you have to offer.

So think of a name and an address. And make it catchy.

Register Your Domain Name

Once you have decided what your preferred web address or url is, find a domain names hosting provider. Domain names can cost you between $9.00 to $25.00 a year, depending on the name and the domain name extension. Remember there are a lot of domain name extension as well, these are the *.com, *.net, *.tv, *.org, etc. A little searching online can find you the cheapest domain name you can find.

Once you’re done registering your preferred domain name, all you need is to start building your own website by finding a web design, and a web-hosting service.

There are companies out there that not only sells domain names but also provides web-hosting services, oftentimes, the packages are better than just buying a domain name. It saves you time and money. Just make sure to read the fine print, and make sure the package is what suits you and your business.

Terms that might adversely affect the way you run your website and your business are the Disk Space Usage, Bandwidth and data Transfer. For more on this important information, read our article on Buying a Cheap Domain.

More Domains for More Traffic

Some businesses, knowing the traffic potential of their web address, buys multiple domain names, so they can easily catch all the traffic that that particular domain name provide.

For example, your preferred domain name or url address is www.mycoolwebsite.com and you had it registered and you now have a website under that domain name. When people search that name online, they can still be redirected to another website of a similar name but different extension like www.mycoolwebsite.net, or www.mycoolwebsite.org.

If there are no website under those extension, chances are, they will go to yours. So, to avoid other people from registering those similar names with different extension, you might want to buy them for yourself as well. If you decided to do this, you can have all those domain names redirect itlef to one particular domain name of your choice, in this case for example, they would all go to www.mycoolwebsite.com.

So you finally decided to set-up your very own website. And you have thought about your own cool domain name. For you to find and register the domain name that you prefer (if it is still available), you have to go through domain name registrars. These are the companies that sell domain names like godaddy.com, namecheap and others.

There are other Top Level Domain names extension to chose from that would be suitable for you and your new website. You can chose .com, .net, .me, .tv and a lot more. Also , prices of such domain varies.

Some companies that provide domain name registration and domain hosting services usually charge relatively high fees for a single domain name. But there are also some that provide cheaper alternatives. Just a little searching and for sure you can find something cheaper.

Remember that if you found a company where you can find domain names for cheap, they might not necessarily offer cheap web-hosting as well. You will still need a web-hosting service that would be suitable for what you need. While some might catch your eye for their cheap web-hosting offer, bear in mind that the disk usage and bandwidth would matter a big deal for your business website. Make sure there would be enough bandwidth to cover all the traffic that would be driven to your website.

Case in point: a web-hosting service I know offer only 5 GB of Disk Space and 1000 GB data transfer allowed. If your website had a lot of photos, content and videos, the disk space might not be enough. And your new website would fall short. If you have a lot of traffic, as soon as you reached the GB bandwidth, your customers wouldn’t be able to access your site.

So make sure to get a Web-Hosting Service that would give you unlimited bandwidth and data transfer and disk space usage, so you can add more features and traffic to your new website.

Now , let’s get back to the domain name that you are about to buy. So you have found a company that let’s you buy the domain name of your choice for cheap but their web-hosting services is not. You decided to buy web-hosting services somewhere else. This is very doable. But it also means you have to grant access from the domain name registrar to your web-hosting services. While webmasters doesn’t find it hard, it’s a little inconvenient. If you are the one maintaining and building your own website, this means you have to constantly monitor both your accounts. One from the domain name company and one from the web-hosting company.

Why do this, when you can have it all in one.

You might ask, “why do I need a website?”

Actually, there are a number of reasons why you should. If you have a business or planing to start one, a website is an elegant way to promote and sell your products and services. It’s like a pro-active and pre-emptive response. It provides your potential customers an advance knowledge of what you can offer, and giving them information right away with a click of a mouse.

You might say, “well I want them to meet me face to face so I can persuade them to buy from me,”. It works if you have outstanding sales skills, but what if you don’t have it?

Providing relevent information gives your potential customers the power to decide if you or what you offer is suitable for what they need and want. If not, and they decided not to buy from you or obtain your services, it’s alright too. You also gain from it because you don’t have to waste your time trying to convince a customer that would not even be your customer in the first place. It saves you time. Time that you could use to concentrate on your real customers.

If you want to draw in a potential customer into a kind of link and bait to lure them into your products, use your website as a tool by providing excellent content and eye-catching graphics.

Evidently, having your own cool website is another way of gaining new customers. Knowing how to build a one is another thing. Do you know the technical details of building and running one? Even if you do, do you have the time to constantly monitor it and making sure it is free from spam and viruses?

Websites are not just for business. People from all walks of life build websites for a number of reasons. Some build one to document a particular hobby, some for blogging, some for personal purposes. Even without programming skills, you can have a website of your own. You don’t need to be an expert.
