How to Start a Business Website

Description

Do you need to start a business website?

Your offline bricks and mortar business has been quite successful through word of mouth advertising and other methods you have been using, but you want to get the word out to the people you have been missing without spending a fortune. Knowing how to start a business website will allow you to get your site started on your own or avoid getting taken by the many web design companies that charge an arm and a leg for services that are so basic my mother could probably do them if she really tried. Actually, my mother probably couldn't do this, but it is extremely simple even for those that have very little experience.

Step 1: Buy a Domain for your Business Website

You need a domain for your new business website. If you choose Mochahost for your website hosting you may be offered a free domain depending upon the package and payment plan you decided upon; I usually don't go for these types of offers because I have a lot of domains and I like to keep them all in one convenient place. If your business site is the only site you will have to worry about for a while, go for the free domain if it's offered with your hosting package. I keep all of my domains at GoDaddy.com , because that's where I started keeping all of them and I didn't want to hassle with moving the domains somewhere else. Other sites where you can register your domain name are:

Namecheap.com

Register.com

Moniker.com

Regselect.com - This is actually a domain comparison shopping site.

While you are registering your domain, make sure you change the nameservers while you are in the registration process, this will save you from having to wait ...
