For static websites you need to either have knowledge of the various web design tools or hire a professional to update your website. As for content management systems (CMS) you can update the content yourself through an administrative back-end. You don’t need any html editing experience nor a do you need to hire a professional web designer. The CMS system allows you to update your website like a pro.

Most hosting companies offer domain name and hosting in one plan. The big benefit to this setup is that everything is controlled from one central area, the hosting control panel, where you will be able to create ftp accounts, email addresses, databases, view your website visitor’s statistics and much more. Costs for both hosting and domain name together average around $70 for an entire year. As developer I have dealt with many hosting companies, such as, Yahoo, Godaddy, ixWebHosting but I personally recommend Bluehost hosting, simply because of their great and easy to use control panel and reachable customer service.

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.
