Module 3 – Domain and Host
Domain
As mentioned in the previous module, by choosing WordPress you will have to buy a domain and find a host. Some clarifications on the subject.
A domain name is an address where Internet users can access your website, something like www.business.com. Everything begins with the perfect domain name. Not only is it how your customers are best able to find you, but it also allows you to present your brand in the best light.
You might be interested to verify if the domain you would like to buy is available with this link. If you already have a domain, you will see until when it has been reserved and more important if you are the owner.
Host
There are several hosting services and finding the best is a difficult task. Each host declares itself the best on the market!
Most hosting services can offer a good solution. I’m using HostGator because the price is very competitive for the first 3 years, you can install a WordPress site with one click, get unlimited emails and websites depending on the plan you buy and the customer service is excellent. It could be a good solution for associations who would like to offer free hosting to their members. You will see in the video how it works.
It’s time to discuss which plans would be better for your needs. Maybe you already have hosting services; your advisor will now need the access.
