By now you have an idea of where you want to go with your idea. Some of youwill consider it a hobby; some will see the potential it has for being a viable business. There are millions who do both and that’s fine too. Twentyyears ago this internet experience only existed for a few select organizations. Now, though, the entire world can benefit from their dabbling into the world of technology.
If you want this site to be a hobby, you’re in for a treat. There are thousands of websites dedicated to showing you, the “newbie,” how to make it all work. Domains, inexpensive web hosting, you name it. And while there are website that charge you, most of those websitesare free. Why? I don’t know, but it seems like the adage of paying it forward applies here. In any event, you’ll want to do the same after you figure it all out. If you’re reading this, then you are ahead of those who keep putting it off.
Next, you’ll want to register a domain. Say what? Register a domain. A domain is what you enter into the web browser. Get used to this word because you’ll see it a lot. A domain name is, like the example in a previous article, lampshade.com or www.lampshade.com. That’s it. That’s all there is to the definition of a domain name. Actually, the domain name is everything before the period such as my example. The dot com (or .net or .org) is the suffix). See, there’s nothing to it. Of course, this is just the front end of the domain. The “back end” is a bunch of numbers and dots. But that’s for a different lesson.
Registering a domain is easy and relatively inexpensive. You’ve probably seen the Godaddy commercials during the Super Bowl. For the last several years, they’ve been very enticing. They are probably the world’s best known domain registrar. I don’t understand what exactly happens when you pay the fee but Godaddy has an agreement with the registration body: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN. that body makes sure that there are enough suffixes (.org, .net. .mobi., .asia, etc.) for the world. I’m sure they do much more but that’s all we need to know for now.
There are literally thousands of domain registrars. 1and1.com is one. Godaddy is another. Type “domain registration” into Google (with the quotes) and a kazillion of them will display. Search around on the first page for one that you feel comfortable with and then just go for it. Most of those sites are very newbie friendly (have you gotten used to the term “newbie” yet? We were all where you are right now and pretty soon you’ll be giving out advice just like the rest).
Of course, most of these organizations will accept Paypal or your credit card. If not, search around for one until you find one. They do exist. I can honestly say that when you register your first domain, there’s not a feeling like it in the world! After you’ve registered a few, that feeling fades away but you still have the remembrance of your first domain.
Lastly, when registering your domain, make sure you check “Private” or “Private registration.” Simply put, it costs a couple of extra bucks (especially nice when you’ve got a coupon code for a reduced price), but the benefits are worth it. In fact, you can see those benefits as you search around the site for a short period of time, and probably there’s a question mark box right near the word Private.
In this article, I’ve tried to walk you through the domain registration process. Next we’ll discover affordable web hosting. Bon chance.
