Domain Registration & Hosting Before you can setup a website, you will need to register a domain name of your choice and obtain a suitable hosting package. Thre are many domain name registrars out there, the main ones being namecheap.com and godaddy.com . You can use either one. Having registered your domain name, you will then need to purchase a hosting package. I highly recommend using hostgator.com . It has a very user-friendly interface, it's very reliable, affordable and most importantly, it provides first-class customer service. The 24/7 chat support is top-notch and all their customer-service officers are technically competent in solving all your hosting problems. I have personally used them for several years now and I have never encountered an instance when their chat-support becomes unavailable. They have always been there for me. There are hosting companies that also provide domain name registration. However, it is prudent and always better to use separate entities for the two functions. This is to be on the safe side because if the hosting company goes bust, it would be easy to purchase another hosting package and point your domains to the new hosting servers and your website will be up and running again in a matter of days. But if you have them both at the same place, you would find difficulty in salvaging your domains and your business can be devastatingly affected. I have made a video that goes through the processes of registering a domain name with godaddy.com and purchasing a hosting package with hostgator.com. It also covers configuring your DNS servers at godaddy.com pointing it to your hosting servers at hostgator. That is all that is needed to have your website ready for setting up.
