I bought a domain name, now what?
So, you’ve bought, or registered, a domain name – Now What?
You have few basic options
1) Purchase a hosting service and create a website. There are lots of hosting services out there. Most are pretty inexpensive to get started. I’m using www.godaddy.com, but do a google search for “website hosting solution”. You’ll find sites like www.BlueHost.com, www.MediaTemple.com, www.hostgator.com and more.
2) Use one of the many sites out there that will create a site for you. www.wordpress.com, www.ning.com, www.yola.com. Most of these site will charge you a small monthly fee to use your newly purchased domain. Also try Google site builder for free.
3) ‘Park’ your domain. Parking a domain is basically using a service to serve ads on your domain. In doing so, you can make a few pennies while you figure out what you want to do. Most hosting services provide these services for a fee, but you can use Goolge’s Adesnse for Domains for free. Check out www.skimboards4sale.com or www.rallycheer.com, they are both provided by Google Adsense. They took less than 15 minutes to set up.
4) Set up an custom gmail email account with your new domain.
