Hosting your Website for Revenue

Step 1: Choose a Domain Name

Pick a name that describes what your site is.

If you plan to register it with the search engines (like Yahoo), it will benefit you to have a name that begins with a number or the letter A. That way it will appear at the top of the directory.

Search for a name - www.whois.sc is one of the best domain search engines I have come across. It not only searches available domains, it shows you domains that have expired.

Step 2: Select a Hosting Company

Your hosting company can determine how your website is built. Make sure you go with a reputable company that will be around for awhile, and has good customer support. I have used Infinology before and have been very happy with their service. You get plenty of hard drive space, throughput, and the price is right.
