Note: Plum Lovely Designs
can take care of all these details for you.
Buy a Domain Name
Your domain name will be what visitors type to get to your site. You may purchase a domain for one to ten years at a time.
- GoDaddy.com is one of the least expensive domain name registers in the business.
A registrant will also allow you to check the status of a domain to see if someone else has the rights to it. There are many domain name registers including NetworkSolutions and Register.com. You may also register your domain with your hosting agency (see below).
See here for a general cost guide to establishing a Web site.
Choose a Web Hosting Agency
Your Web hosting agency will house your site and make it available on the Internet.
-
I recommend WestHost. They are affordable, reliable, and their customer service is top-notch.
