Get Web Hosting

How To Choose the Right Domain Name

•    Make it short and easy to spell and preferably no more then 3 words long. Following these steps will make it easier for people to remember your websites name.

•    If you’re website will be for your small business, then use your business name as your domain name.

•    If you want to branded as an expert in a specific field, then use your own name as your domain name. I did this for my johnpaulaguiar.com name on my blog.

•    Choose a .com if you can, and a .net as a second choice. .com is what people automatically relate a website too. the .net is a close second.

•    Do NOT use numbers in your domain name.

How To Get Web Hosting For Your Blog

To make it easier for you to get started building your website, I only recommend ONE web host for you to use.

Design Your Blog Using WordPress

The platform that I use and recommend you use for your website is WordPress.

“WordPress is the system/platform that you build your website on. WordPress lets you easily build a professional-looking website/blog without any technical know-how.

2 Reasons I ONLY use WordPress:  1- Easy to use and maintain.  2- It is COMPLETELY Free.”

WordPress operates from the internet, you can access it through any browser. Because of this, it works on any device that has internet access.

Everything you need to do in WordPress is located on the left side and labeled for easy understanding.

Next are 3 screen shots of the most important things you will do inside WordPress.
