How To Register Your Domain Name and Find A Good Web Host
I am sure you have stumbled upon some websites with easy to remember names like ABOUT.COM or BORED.COM.or WEIGHTWATCHERS.COM. or SPORTS.COM

Have you every wondered where you should go to get your own web address or domain name? There are a few really great places to go out there. I have been around the block a few times and stubbed my toe once or twice while learning how to get my website a name and a host. This blog offers you a review of a few of the services I used in the past. I hope you find success in your endeavors. Here are a few Web-Hosts that offer reasonable hosting prices and cheap domain names.

Web Hosts offer a service where their "server" stores your web site's HTML files, and graphics (generally for a monthly fee). Their server allows your web site to be accessed / viewed over the Internet. They may or may not offer web name registration. The sites I have listed offer both and are extremely easy to use. Remember your website needs a name. This is called the "domain name or the web address" For example my web address is www.buildabigbankaccount.com.

Here are a few Web Hosting Companies that I have used and really liked. There is one being promote by the "Rich Jerk". I have found that the items referenced on that site have not been reliable. So be careful not to spend your dollars on this site.

There are a lot of Web Hosting companies to choose from so you should do your homework.

There is a link below for a company called SITE SELL. They offer you a complete course along with hosting and domain registration. They are a one stop shop. I bought there $300.00 development package and was so excited at first. Then they made me do some work and I got tired very fast so I canceled my subscription. They were sooooo nice to me. They gave me a complete refund immediately for all of my money. As you can see I spend a lot of time and money doing this. I kept the domain and the program for about 20 days before I changed my mind. I highly recommend them for the do-it-yourself-er. Their link is below.

Then there is my absolute favorite. GODADDY There link is below as well. They have this cool system call CASH PARKING and they have a ton of sales with great discounts and coupons all of the time. Cash parking is for those of us who have to buy more than one domain names because we can't decide which is best. If and when people somehow find there way to your domain. Godaddy offers those lucky customers tons of products advertised there AND if someone buys something you get a commission check. I got one for $50.00 last month and to get cash parking it costs you around $36 for the year not included the cost of the domain name. They also offer a turnkey web program where you can start selling items immediately. Did I mention that they are y favorite. They also have representatives that will walk you through everything you need to know. I have 37 domain names registered through their site.

I have also used Midphase once. They didn't overwhelm me with customer service. They were direct clear and to the point. They would be my number 5 pick.

I have never used Blue host personally but several friends swear that they are the best.

I know its a short list but I can't and won't endorse everybody. Now that you have your domain name and your website host let's keep going so we can get you to earn you "MBA" MASSIVE BANK ACCOUNT!

Here is one thought that I want to offer you. When you find a really great domain name BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. Believe me there is another person out there who thinks like you do and if they get to your name first then you are out of luck. A catchy Domain name can be worth a lot of money to you. On godaddy's site you can see a list of premiere sellers. Imagine that popular domain name could have been yours. So when you develop that million dollar domain name remember me and BUY IT IMMEDIATELY. Did I say you should not hesitate one second? You should buy the domain name now. When you make your first million dollars remember me too. I accept tips (smile)

Here are some other places you may want to research. There are many opportunities to choose from my list is not all inclusive but it gives you a place to start. Feel free to leave comments and let me know what you found out!
