a follow-up thing from last time:
When you get a domain name at
Godaddy.com BEFORE you have your own
hosting account, there's one thing
you'll want to do:
Remember when I said that at some
point, it asks you if you're hosting
your domain name elsewhere and you can
click on that etc.
Well, right next to it, it offers
to PARK your domain name for free.
YOu'll just click on that, and it
will safe-keep your domain name
until you're ready to do something
else with it.
Next, you can also redirect your
domain names directly from Godaddy.
However, I prefer to do that from
Hostgator.
You may have noticed that Godaddy
also offers hosting services.
Why not have them host you?
Wouldn't that be easier?
Maybe. But there are drawbacks.
The one that matters most to me
is that Godaddy doesn't have that
amazing feature called
C-Panel, which puts you totally
in charge of everything.
You probably have no idea what
I'm talking about now, but
no worries. C-panel is majorly
cool and you'll see why shortly.
The other thing: Hostgator is
really reasonably priced and
has outstanding customer service.
I tested them before I signed up.
I called up customer service just
to see whether they actually answer
the phone and how quickly, and then,
how friendly they were and if they
could speak English.
They passed with flying colors.
The guy I spoke with was even
gracious when I told him I was
not even a customer yet and was
just testing them ;-)
So where can you get them?

Go with the Baby Plan. Again,
you'll see why very soon.
Once you sign up, they will send
you a welcome email.
In that email, they will tell you
what your name servers are.
Be sure to take note of those.
They look something like this:
NS295.hostgator.com or something
like that.
When you go back to Godaddy to
buy your domain names, and when
you then click on "I'm hosting
my domain names elsewhere," you
will be taken to a screen where
they have spaces for you to fill
in your name server (see above,
or rather the ones that they
sent you in your welcome email).
Okay, that's enough for now.
Next time: Discover the wonders
of C-Panel ;-) and how to
turn affiliate links into domain
names.
Have a fabulous day!
