Make sure you follow every step! EMAIL ME if you are unsure! First things first! Deciding on your site! OK first you need to think of what type of site you want, a game site, tutorial site, information or search engine? This if very important as you will need to use it cleverly in your domain name! Think of what its about, and try adding related keywords to it. For example: A gaming site gameforce gamebase gamezone A tutorial site tutorialearn tutorialzone pixelgen Get it? if not try a domain generator! (use google for that) The domain is very important, not just on the name, but on its ending! The common ending are: .com .net .org If you want it to be world wide, use one of these domains. If you want it to be local, life if you own a company in the UK it you chose: .co.uk .org.uk So it all adds, up. you got a great name, and you know what you want the URL to be (www.yoursite.com) so now what you need to do is register it! First thing to remember is that it must not already be registered! An easy way to do this is by going to that URL and seeing if it comes up with a site, or a ERROR MESSAGE saying that it cannot connect to the server etc. Now to need to buy the domain! If you wanted a free website, try google, or ask on the forum! Buying the Domain and Webspace You can chose your host but the one host I recommend is Siteground!
