How to Register Domain, Host and Set Up Your Business Blog
This is the continuation on this series on how to set up a professional blog from the scratch as well as the follow up which is 5 reasons you should set up blogs. Many people have the desire to start blogging with enthusiasm but this die down as they proceed within 4 months. The reason has been explained in the previous two articles.
In summary, if you want to start blogging the right way for business, you should know that blogging is not about making money primarily but blogging for passion, hobbies or expertise will bring money from the blogging activities.
You must love what you do or get frustrated. I have also stated in the previous articles that most people are just interested in making money but not in offering values. You must also blog as a business if you want to make money by doing the right things; writing down a business plan, mission and vision statements, expected goal and projections. Bloggers are not magicians, they work.
Now if you have read the previous steps and convinced that you are ready to start a blogging business, then you can proceed here.
Step 1: Domain Name Registration: A domain is your name on the cyberspace. Your domain name is you area of control. It is where your business office stays. People will know your site based on your domain name. Domain name is different from hosting. Your domain name is like henryomenogor.com. To register your domain depending on where you live, you will certainly need to pay for it in various currencies. The universal method of registering domain name is with credit or debit cards in the form of visacard, mastercard or paypal. It is registered on first-come-first-served basis.
If you live in third world country where there are various challenges with payments, you can buy domain using Libertyreserve.com.
In registering your domain name, your domain must reflect your product, company of service. Your domain must be search engine optimized friendly. It is not just enough to register domain name but register a domain that is short and easily remembered. Your domain name will go a long way to affect the way you will make money from your website, especially if you are running google adsense and other programs on your site.
If you want to own a life Free domain name with .com, .net, .info or .org extension, you can have it by going to a promotion from LRGlobalHost.com which offers free donain name with hosting account through Libertyreserve payment.
Step 2: Hosting Your Site with a Quality Web Hosting Company: This is an area you must understand very well as it is critical to the success of your online business. I have seen most people who run sites and these sites do not show when they have many visitors. I have also seen web hosts that has hosted sites for friends who keep complaining that the site is on for one minute and next it is off the internet. I know how frustrating it could be. Having been in the business of hosting websites for companies since 2005 with vast experience here.
The challenging thing here for most newbies is that they prefferre to have sites hosted for almost next to nothing amount. Unfortunately, they get frustrated as soon as their site is up and running because the sites will start experiencing what I have described above.
If you have to make progress with your blog, think future first from now and not convenience. Your web hosting must have some necessary software including among other ad dons; fantastico for blog sett up, Forum Software, MYSQL , Redirect, Sub domain addons, unlimited email account, high bandwidth as well as other great add-ons. This is your 247 office and so you must be very sure you have an office that is accessible 247 without hindrance. This is why you must go for quality hosting. Support system is also important.
I recommend you take LRGlobalHost which comes with all the facilities that will enable you have a hosting account with peace of mind. Best of all, they offer free domain name for life and month free hosting with your one year payment. I also recommend them because they offer hosting for a full year with free domain name for less than $45 per annum by libertyreerve.
Step3: Set Up Your Blog: Once you have your hosting and domain name in place, it is time you start your online business. All you need is set up your blog. Now it is very simple to set up a blog. However, setting up a professional blog is different. To set up a simple blog, log into your control panel that was given to you by your hosting company, locate fantastico, click on it, follow to the next platform and click on wordpress to your left, add your user name and password and other settings and congrats you have created a blog.
In the next of this series, we will be discussing how to make your blog professional so that itcan have visitors, money and business for you.
Recommendation: I hardly recommend products and programs but I recommend that you sign up with LR GlobalHost as they will register your domain, host and set up these whole process for you with the $40 per annum. They will give you a free domain name of your choice, host it and give you a free blog set up.
