Ok.. now that you are ready to purchase a domain, what do you use for the name and where do you go??

Once you have picked out your niche and are ready to find a domain name, it is pretty simple.

Evaluate some domain names based off your niche. Example, if your niche is steak restaurants then you will want to include at the very least one of those keywords.

If the domain name you want is taken, keep trying different combinations until you find one you feels describes your blog and your niche.

The reason you use your niche keywords in the domain title is for several reasons.

Using a keyword in your title is also good for Search Engine Purposes. It classifies your blog and makes the big picture complete.

You can find domains AND hosting several places, but these are the 2 we use and therefore we recommend. I know there are a few other very good ones, but always do your research as there are some very bad ones. Customer service here is going to be key.

www.GoDaddy.com ($9.99 for a one year domain name and $4.29 a month for one domain hosting)

hostgator.com ($15 for a one year domain name and $7.95 a month for unlimited domain hosting) **Try using the code: Lucky or David for a discount.

Once you have your domain name purchased, and your hosting complete, then it is time to move onto installing your blog. Don’t panic!! We have videos that will walk you through this step by step.
