We’re starting off a new series called 10 Steps To A Top 10 Blog. Each week we will have a new post on how to setup a great blog or website.
First off, what will your website be about? Will it be a blog, portfolio or forum? Depending on what you choose, you will need a suitable domain name as well. Branding is everything, so pick a good domain. It should be memorable, roll off the tongue, and a .com if possible.
Once you have a good idea, start brainstorming different words related to it for your domain. Come up with as many names as you can, because often many domains will already be registered. Once you’ve come up with your names, head over to DomainTools.com to make sure it is not taken. Now you might want to ask around and see what other people think of the name to get some second opinions.
When you’re sure you’ve got the right one, you will want to register it along with hosting. HostGator is the recommended host. Use the coupon code “GREEN” to save money when you are registering.
