Here is how to get cheap and reliable web hosting to start a business online.

Step #1: Register a Domain Name

You've to buy a domain name for your internet business which you will never sell. This is your primary domain name which you will use to sign up with your web host. It will become your virtual office or store where you can promote your products and services. If you are into affiliate marketing business, this is the best place to write product reviews and publish on your blog.

But before you get a domain name, make sure you can think of at least one online business idea which you can start with it. In this regard, keyword domain name can be the best to register and develop into a blog. For example, I purchased BusinessDoer.com recently which I hope to start a blog with in the business consulting and freelance business services.

For cheap domain name registration, I use NameSilo.com website. Their domain registration portal's interface is easy to navigate and you don't have to be tech savvy to register a domain name with them. Also, I like to separate my domain name registrar from my web hosting company so that I can have the flexibility of an online business owner.

Step #2: Buy Web Hosting

You've to purchase web hosting with cPanel environment in order to make it easy for you to install WordPress blog on your domain for free with one-click button. Because I use HostGator and Bluehost web hosting companies, I'm going to explain the sign up process on how to get cheap and reliable web hosting with HostGator.

Don't forget that HostGator website hosting and Bluehost website hosting are pioneers in the industry. So, I can vouch and recommend their services to any blogger, webmaster, internet marketer, affiliate marketer, domain name investor, or whoever you are.

Their uptime, customer support with live chat, speed, security, pricing, backup, storage, bandwidth, email, and so on, are second to none. If you are hosting your web site or blog with pop and mom website hosting companies, you're literally putting your money in the hands of strangers. Anything can happen to your web business at short notice.

I have been doing business online for over a decade now and I have never had cause to regret using HostGator web hosting services. I strongly believe in excellent services and that is what attracted me to them.

HostGator Baby Plan will allow you to host unlimited domain names on the same account. In other words, you'll not have any restriction even if you have hundreds or thousands of domains to host with your account.

Please, you've to take note that it is the Baby and Business plans that will allow you to host unlimited domains in one account. The HostGator Hatchling plan will only allow you to host a single domain name. This plan will not meet your future needs when you want to grow your online business and expand it.

If you've clicked the HostGator Baby Plan, you will be taken to their check out page where you will be required to fill out your personal information in order to enable them to create your account.

The first item at the check out page is to “Choose a Domain.” Since you already have a registered domain name, you have to click the “I Already Own This Domain.”

If you don't have any domain name yet, you can click the “Register a New Domain” to get one from HostGator. They may offer you a free domain name on selected extensions or TLDs (top level domains).

When I clicked the “I Already Own This Domain” and typed my preferred domain in the domain search field immediately below “Enter Your Domain,” it recognized it as my primary domain.

The step 2 of your website hosting sign up is to “Choose a Hosting Plan.” Well, you have already done so. However, you may want to double check for any changes or adjustments.

The third step is to “Enter Your Billing Info.” You can follow the fields and enter every information required from you. You're safe and secure with HostGator.

The fourth step is the “Add Additional Services.” These HostGator add-on services will increase the cost of your web hosting ultimately. If you don't need these add-on services right away, you can uncheck the boxes that were selected by default.

For instance, I will uncheck the box beside “SiteLock Monitoring” and “Site Backup.”

The second add-on service is site backup. You can always find free WordPress plugins that do the same website backup without paying anything.

Now, we have come to the most important section of the HostGator sign up form which is the item 5. This is where you can enter HostGator coupon code to enjoy discount when you finally click the order button.

How to Register a Domain Name for Your Online Business

In this blog post, I'm going to answer your on how to register a domain name for your online business. But the first thing that should come to your mind is that without a domain name and web hosting, you cannot build a website or create a blog of your own.

In other words, it is actually the foundation of any successful online business and you must deem it necessary to buy one for your web business to flourish. I shudder when I meet aspiring internet entrepreneurs who say they don't have a website and yet they want to earn money online.

With that said, let's get started.

What is a Domain Name?

A domain name is simply an online address that takes a web surfer or information seeker to a specific website, blog, ecommerce store, etc whenever he/she enters it on his/her internet browser or follow a link that contains the online address.

It can be in different forms such as a word or combination of words, word(s) and numbers, characters, creative or brandable, numbers only, words separated with hyphen(s), etc.

A domain name will always have its own unique extension or TLD (top-level domain). A name with its unique TLD can only be registered by one individual or corporate body at a time.

For example, there is only one and only one person who can own https://www.businessdoer.com/ at any point in time. But another person or corporate entity can register the .net, .org, .info, .biz, .co, etc without any problem. The domain extensions are so many now to list all of them here.

However, you should bear in mind that .COM TLD is generally perceived to be superior to the other extensions and rightly so because its commercial attributes. So, I may advise you to register your domain name in the .com extension.

Without a domain name to do business online, you cannot really promote your unique brand or project your online identity to the global market. Fortunately for every aspiring online entrepreneur, it will not cost you an arm and leg to get a domain name.

Yes, it costs less than $10 per year to register a domain name or renew it for you to continually have an unfettered access to use it.

In case you don't know, owning a domain name as your virtual office address gives you identifiable perception, search engines traffic and scalability in your internet business and online marketing. To this end, you should be able to give careful thought to it before choosing and registering a domain name.

Before you get a domain name, make sure it is easy to remember, short, passes the radio test, reflects your business idea, keyword rich, marketable, unique, descriptive, commercially viable, connects with your niche or industry, and so on.

Domain name registration is on first come first served basis. So, use your creative imagination to get a domain name idea and quickly register it before someone else does. It did happened to me!

Few years back now, I checked the availability of a name for online business ideas I was contemplating of starting with it in April. As luck would have it, it was available for hand registration but I deferred it.

By July of the same year, someone else has taken possession of it and I became so heart broken for days on end.

What I should have done on that day was to go to my preferred domain name registration service and reserve the name for less than $10 for a whole year pending when I'm ready to start an online business with it.

What is the Cost of Domain Name Registration?

Personally, I use NameSilo.com to get a domain name every time I want to register it for an internet business idea I want to start. It costs $8.99 per year as of writing this blog article.

And if you're lucky, you may register for just $6.99 if there is promotion going on. Most of the time in the year, NameSilo host promotions to attract more customers.

The best of it all is that your registration will include privacy protection if you desire it. Majority of other domain registrars charge an extra fee to protect your domain name for you.

Whois privacy can come in handy when you want to hide your identity from the public and safely do your business without prying eyes.

On how to register a domain name, this is the steps I usually follow to reserve a name.

1. I will make a tentative list of all the domain names I want to register which are related to the business to start in a notepad, one domain name per line. 
2. Decide in advance on the TLD/extension I want to go for. I always make use of the .com extension for my business. The only exception is when I am buying and selling domain names. 
3. Copy and paste the list into the domain name availability checker and click the search button. 
4. The domain availability checker will go to work and show me the results in seconds or a minute as to which of the domains cum its their TLDs are available to register and which ones are already taken. 
5. If the name that is available in the results page is okay by me, I will proceed with the domain name registration process. First, I will log in to my account with NameSilo.com and pay the registration fee to get it secured into my account.

But if you are a new registrant, you have to sign up from this link and proceed with your cheap domain name registration. If you register a domain name for one year, have it in mind that it will become due for renewal on or before the first anniversary date of your registration.

You may loose your domain name to another online business owner who is also interested in it or cyber squatters who want to make quick cash from reselling it if you failed to renew it within the grace period available to you after the due renewal date.

And the number of days for the grace period differs from one registrar to another. You may have to check with your domain name registrar in order to be sure.

This is how to register a domain name and it is essentially the same steps you will pass through if you already have your own preferred domain name registration company in mind.

Lastly, make sure you don't register a domain with a trademarked keyword in it. You can check for trademark issues with TradeMark247.com for free.
