You have to purchase the domain name, purchase hosting, and create your website.
One of the most important things to consider is your domain name.
Here are some tips that will help you make the right choice for your site.
If its at all possible, I don't recommend using dashes or underscores.
Some people think they need to put dashes or underscores in between each word, but that is not the case.
Keywords
Keywords are important for your website when it comes to search engines.
For instances, if you own a candle business, you may want to consider having candle in your domain name.
Domain name extensions
When you think about all the websites you visit, most of them end in .
However, there are many other extensions on the internet that you can use.
net, .
me.
net, did you type in .
com.
With that said, you may want to consider purchasing .
Multiple domain names
Another thing to consider is multiple domain names pointing to the same site.
For example, if your domain name is susanscandles.
net and susanscandles.
That way if someone types in susanscandles.
Its also a good idea to purchase domain names that are close so you don't lose out that way either.
com and susanscandle.
Abbreviations or full words
Unless your business is well known for its abbreviations, you should stay away from using them.
You can always follow the tip above and purchase the letters for the abbreviation as well as the full words just to be safe.
I hope the tips above help make the decision process a little easier.
