Domain Name
To get you started, first things first. You need a website. For the beginner, a domain name is the name of your website i.e www.SimpleContentCreation.com. Your domain name is what you’ll forever be known for. Trust me, you want to get this one right the first time. Don’t make the mistake of choosing the first thing that comes to mind. Write down a few alternatives. Say it out loud. Run it by some friends. Is it difficult to remember or say? Does it conjure up any imagery? You want to treat your domain name as though you were naming your first-born child because you’ve only got one shot. Be sure to read 5 Rules For Choosing A Stunning Domain Name before settling.
Hosting
A web host is essentially where your website resides on the internet. In other words, your domain name is like your home address and the Host is the physical location. There are no shortages of web hosting services, but I personally recommend Bluehost since that is who I use. I love their reliability, support, and options. In my book, they’ve been nothing but superb and I’ve never had any headaches dealing with them.
