From there you can mostly just follow the simple guides and instructions in the CMS until your site is the way you want it.
Whatever you choose, best of luck!
Like many people I wondered about hostgator and if they really are as cheap and fantastic as they claim. Scouring the internet one day I got lucky! I ran across a promotional offer that not only gave me hosting for .01 but it supplied me with $100 in Google ads and $25 for Yahoo ads! Very soon after I finished my site I started to get targeted traffic for this reason. The promotional offer works with ANY of the packages even the "hatchling plan"
To access the discount AND the bonus products use the promotional code "ONECENT4AMONTH" at check out, no quotes.
I think hosting services are important, something related to managing servers, I'm not really sure.
and then you ask a web development company that will design and develop a website according to your requirements.
good luck, and I'd suggest reading up a bit on hosting services so you can know whether you need it or not.
Whats your www gonna be? That is the 1st step!
I am starting up a website, do you know were the best deals are?
Can you talk me through the process? I am new to this.
I have tried go daddy and they are bombarding me with deals i do not know which to take, should i take their hosting services?
how do I build a website once I have the domain?
I would really appreciate some help on this.
Thanks
