he first step to make money online is to know how to set up your hosting and order a domain name. A domain name is like a company name you registered with a local business authority. The best name should be somewhat relevant to your business contain a business branding. For example. One of my site oneseoasia.com is offering OneSEOasia.com SEO services. It is some what relevant to my core business and have a branding effect of site.
After you have decided your domain name, now you can order it through a trusted source such as 2-hosts.com . Ok now you have the domain names, you need a hosting. A hosting basically is a place where to store web pages. There are generally two types of hosting windows and linux. But for most popular web scripts such as wordpress, a linux hosting environment will be better. Since the software written were targeted to run on a linux or unix host.
How to choose your hosting?
Now it comes to a question, how do you choose your hosting? In general, there are unlimited hosting plans with unlimited domain or just allow a single domain. Well, for an internet marketer like me, a unlimited domain hosting plan is recommended since I have more than one website. And each one serves different purposes. Some are for my core business, some are just from setting up a site to make some adsense cash quick. After you choose a hosting plan, you should now choose what type of control panel you wish to work on.
What is A Control Panel?
A control panel is a piece of software that allow you to create email addresses, databases, mail forwarding, domain redirection with a click of the mouse. The most popular control panel software perhaps is using Cpanel. This is very user friendly and most newbies will have no problems using that.
Other types of control panels will be Hsphere, Direct admin, Webmin etc, However, if you have problems with technical stuffs, a hosting company with Cpanel such as Hostgator perhaps is the best.
