Setting Up Your Website – Purchase Your Domain and Hosting
Website Hosting and purchasing a domain address for your online business are the two investments you need and are the least expensive:
- How to Buy a Domain – Hint- buy from someone reputable!
- About Free WordPress Hosting – You get what you pay for. Why free is not always better.
I recommend checking the prices for 3 year terms, as these tend to be the best value. Most website hosting companies offer “introductory” pricing so you get your best deal when your first sign up. And if you sign up for the maximum term, you get the best price.
However, you will probably not get this price again, so be aware. Many companies have pricing of less than $150 for a 3 year term, which is cheap to start a business.
With domains, the price is higher for the .com extension, but it is still under $15 a year USD.
Recommended: Siteground – The most popular website hosting that is recommended most often by my blogging friends. Prices start at $3.95 a month (competitive!). Siteground has a reputation for faster page loading speeds and great customer service
Recommended: NameCheap – Grab a domain name for your new website from NameCheap. They have top domains for as low as .88. Whenever possible, try to get a .com domain as most people type in .com automatically when searching on the internet.
