6 Tips to buy domain names and web hosting
1. Compare the prices. The price usually offered for one year registration. Some company offers to sell additional services but just pay attention that the only services related to blogging.
2. Buy domain and web hosting in one company. Don’t make your life blogging difficult buy separate domain and web hosting. There are some difficulties if you buy separate company. The setting task for domain ain’t easy. Let’s the company service provider do the work for you. But you must know about basic information about web hosting. Web space is important especially when your blog is growth.
3. Choose related names for your blog. Get a list that suit with your blog topic. There are millions of domain names you can choose but you must take this seriously. Most of blogger failed coz chooses the wrong domain name to their blog. The best [dot] is [dot][com] but there’s an alternative such as [dot][net], [dot][info],[dot][biz].
Keep your domain name simple. Don’t choose long domain. 2 words is the best for domain name (e.g problogger.com, copyblogger.com). Don’t buy sentences domain (e.g iamtheproblogger.com, wanttobecomeacopyblogger.com) . It is too long and not easy to remember.
4. Get the contact of company service provider. Don’t buy before you can communicate with their contact person. In their contact form they will show their company information with tel no, email, etc. Make sure they have online customer support. It’s important because you will have some problem like server down, database crash, hacking. It helps you if this problem occurred. The best company will give you respond immediately if there’s any trouble. Find review about the web hosting company on the net. You can search on any search engine or find it at any forums.
5. Cpanel. It is the best feature that the hosting company must provide. There’s a blog platform such as Wordpress and you can install it on a single click. It is easy and save your time to install the system.
6. Downtime of the hosts. Make sure that the hosts have low down time. It is important coz if readers can’t access your blog it means nothing even though you get 10K pageview traffic.
