If you are looking for places where you can host your website, you are at the right place.
First off you need a domain, if you do not have one already you can get one at 1and1.com.
When you have your domain you need to host that somewhere.
When I first started I got my hosting with Hostgator, but to be honest with you I cancelled it after a couple of weeks.
It was just too overwhelming. I am not very computer savy, I am still learning.
So to solve my problem, because I really wanted my own website, I became a member of Wealthy Affiliate. There I could put my website together in SiteRubix (a webdesigner program) and then I hosted it right there at Wealthy Affiliate.
Why was this easier?
Having the website made and hosted with the same company just made sense to me, it was easy. Plus all the information I needed to make it happen was just there. The tutorials for beginners like me was very easy to understand, step by step directions, just what I needed.
Today I still host some of my websites at Wealthy Affiliate but I also have an account with Hostgator. Yes I went back with Hostgator (it was not their fault, I could not make it the first time)
I have now figured out more about cpanel, file manager and email hosting.
Where to host your website?
Hostgator is great, they offer unlimited hosting for a very reasonable price and I highly recommend them.
But if you are just starting out and need step by step instructions on how to get your website up and running I would recommend Wealthy Affiliate.
I will put together a tutorial on how to host with both Wealthy Affiliate and Hostgator so that you can chose what suits you the best, so you can pick where to host your website.
Because I work from home, I could this morning spend time with my (almost) 2 year old on the playground. J
To your success,
Vicky
