You Want Your Own ! (Tips #1)

Well, we've heard it many times before... "Hey Guys! I want a website...".

Yes well, it must seem obvious, why we get this question alot...

Well for all of you out there, we have come up with some tips and some "no brainers" in the web design/hosting platform to get you started...

Well you've gotta begin somewhere, so let us start of with Tips #1.
We shall go through the first step towards creating your dreams, your desires, and a whole new load of blood, sweat and typing!

1. ASK YOURSELF THE "WHATS ?" AND THE "WHOS ?"

What would you like to put on your website ? and Who would you want to see the massive amount of info you are going to put up on your website.

Once you have got that figured out, you're ready to roll with the idea's that should be flowing through your cranium.

Alright now since you got your idea's in perspective.. "somewhat", now, you would have to scroll through the web with multiple clicks here and there to find a "Domain Host".

2. WHAT IS A DOMAIN HOST ?

Well basically a domain is the www.mynameorwebsite.com . This step is crucial and most of the time overlooked.

Find a name that represents you and would be easy for people to identify with and remember. "The Stick Factor" is what i call it personally.

If you have a long domain name that just doesn't make sense, most of the time people either won't remember it or will find difficult in typing it.

Take time and look through the Whois.net or Whois.com directory. Read some of your favorite books to get ideas. Once you've found one, register the domain !

3. NEXT, YOUR WEBHOSTING,

There are many webhosts out there, depending on where you live and which continent you wish to attract the values of each webhost would be different.

Let us put it to you this way, if you are selling fruits and your business resides in lets say, "Japan".
And you are exporting most of your fruits to ... hmm... "Australia" for instance (i.e. Most of your business comes from Australia).
Would you set up a storefront in "Japan"?
Of course not ! You would export you apples and oranges to Australia.

Same thing with a webhost, if your client base is in the United States, find a webhost with servers located in the US.

Why ? Technically speaking, your clients would find that the speed to load your website will be relatively faster.

**Note : If you're planning on a Colo-Service for your Server, you might want to find one locally. The above applies for Shared/VPS and Dedicated Hosting.

Alright, if you have read through the previous two paragraphs and all you wanted were tips on how to set-up a personal wordpress.com blog, sorry to have wasted your time thus far.

But you may want to look at domain forwarding addresses ... for example if you have a wordpress address, won't it be cool to have www.yourname.com be redirected to your wordpress blog. YWe'll be discussing the various ways you can do this shortly.

Alright than, that's it for Tips #1, GOTO TIPS #2 .
