Domain name and hosting plans
First things first, you need a domain name and a hosting plan, both very important aspects of your website. Often people struggle to pick a good domain name for their website, and you might just be one of them. I’d like to share with you two golden rules that will help in your pursuit for a successful website. First golden rule: keep your domain name as short as possible, people tend to remember short URL’s better than lengthier ones. Golden rule number two make sure the domain name makes sense and relates to the type of business you’re in. I believe that people should be able to tell from your domain name in what type of business you’re in. Because down the road when your domain name pops up on the Google result pages visitors tend to click on the link with the domain name that best describes or relates to the topic or items that they’re looking for. So don’t name your website thingymcjigger.com if you’re selling kitchen and cooking accessories. Incorporate in your domain name keywords that best relate to your business.
