Choosing Your Domain Name & Setting Up Hosting

Choosing Your Domain Name & Setting Up Hosting

This was actually REALLY cool!

As I was creating the first training video, I went through the EXACT same process I teach you live (and without prior research). And I just happened to use Austin as my local area search criteria. I wound up finding the domain “houseaustin.com”. Now, I know you’re probably thinking, “that sounds kind of stupid”, BUT, there are over 100,000 searches on that keyword term a month, and 40,500 on the specific phrase. Now, from an SEO standpoint and traffic standpoint, there’s some stuff we can surely do with it Choosing Your Domain Name & Setting Up Hosting .

I always have people that get bogged down or overwhelmed with some of the basic elements required to get websites up and running. So… I’ve gone ahead and put together 3 specific videos on:

  1. How to choose a keyword-rich, LOCAL, domain name.
  2. How to set up a hosting account.
  3. How to “point” your domain to your hosting company’s nameservers. (This is where a lot of people get hung up).

So… go ahead and go through these videos to set up your domain and get it hosted. (And if you’re taking the Website and Internet Traffic Tactics class, you’ll need to do this BEFORE starting the class in order to follow along in real time).

Video #1: Choosing A Keyword-Rich Local Domain Name

Video #2: Setting Up Your Hosting Account

Video #3: Pointing Your Domain Name to Your New Hosting Account (this is the final step)
Here’s the final step you need to do before you can start creating you website!
