I forgot to mention this in the earlier post (read here) about HostGator. If you visited or already registered with HostGator, you will notice the domain name is quite expensive. Nobody wants to pay more for the same item, I get that. So, I recommend that you buy your domain name from a different web hosting company that is Namecheap.com.
Here is how you do it if this is the first time you register for your very first website:
1. Go to Hostgator to register your web. HostGator is a web hosting company. You can click on the link or the banner below to do this.
2. Click on the orange button "VIEW WEB HOSTING PLAN" and it will take you to three plans to choose that is "Hatchling Plan", "Baby Plan" and "Business Plan".
3. Choose which plan do you want to use. I recommend you to use "Baby Plan" because it gives you unlimited domains. But this is yours to choose. "Baby Plan" starts from $6.36 per month and it can change according to the discount given. Click "Order Now" button.
4. Under the "Please enter a domain", choose "I already owned this domain" so that you will not purchase your domain name with HostGator because it is expensive there.
Under the "Please confirm your hosting package information", choose your billing cycle. If you choose below 36 months, it will cost you $7.96 per month. If you choose 36 months, it will cost lower, that is $6.36 per month. Fill the form and you are good to go. You can see your total bill when you scroll down.
5. After you are finished with HostGator, Go to Namecheap.com to register your domain name. You can click the link or the banner below.
6. Enter you domain name in the search box to see if it is available. This is quite easy to do compared to registering a web host. You only have to choose the extensions. .com is a familiar post to choose. You can choose others if you want to. Fill the form and you are good to go. It costs about $10.69 a year.
Thank you so so so much for this amazing post. This was such a thoughtful and interesting post! You are a great writer.
