If you haven’t registered a domain name, the easiest way<br />
is to do it as you sign up for hosting. But you can also<br />
purchase (register) your domain name before you are<br />
ready to sign up for a hosting account.<br />
Note: if you are registering your domain name at GoDaddy,<br />
don’t sign up for anything except the domain registration –<br />
ignore the hosting offers, etc. that they’ll show you.<br />
What if you’re not sure what domain name you want? You<br />
can’t choose between two or three you really like? A good<br />
rule of thumb is to register all of them. It’s not that<br />
expensive and it gives you some time to decide. You can<br />
begin setting your site up on one domain, and if you<br />
change your mind, it’s easy to migrate your site to a<br />
different domain using BackupBuddy.<br />
You’ll want to have solidified your decision before you<br />
start promoting your site, but don’t let picking a domain<br />
name be a barrier to getting started.<br />
Setting Up Your Hosting Account<br />
In order for your website to appear on the web, it has to<br />
be hosted somewhere. Think of hosting like a storage<br />
facility. It’s a place for you to store all of your stuff (your<br />
website) on the web. The more stuff you have (the bigger<br />
your site) the more storage space you need.<br />
