When you decide
to create your own website, you must give it a name (called Domain
name), check if the name is available and request the
domain name
registration with an authorised Domain name registration service.
You must then choose a web hosting for your domain. You could set up
your own server as explained in
Install-your-own-dedicated-server, but usually people look
for
external web hosting services.
There are many companies which
offer Web
Hosting and Internet Services.
It is important to choose an
affordable and reliable web hosting.
Your website must run on a good webhost.
You
should evaluate not only the costs, but also the web space
available, the server speed, the allowed monthly
traffic,
the supported technologies, the administration tools (ftp and/or web
based), the Webhosting services and Internet services (e.g.
technical support,
email services, subdomains, dns, PHP, MYSQL, E-Commerce features,
Website building tools, Marketing tools, Website templates
etc).
If in future you might need additional
domains, Webhosting companies which offer unlimited
domains should have a preference. It is possible o change
your host as explained in
How-to-change-Website-Host.
You might also prefer to have all your domains
registered with a separate company which provides Domain Name
Services.
You will find below some good suggestions:
GoDaddy offers
mainly Domain Name
registration services. It allows you to check the
availability of a domain name by a domain name search, to register it
and to renew the registration before the expiration date.
Domain-suggestions
is a useful service which helps to find available Domains which include one or more words of your choice.
