Now that you have completed the domain name selection it’s time to move on to the next step in the process which is choosing a web hosting provider.

If you read the pro’s and con’s of free web hosting then I am confident that you will going with a paid hosting company.

A web host provides you with the space, tools and support to create your web pages and email accounts (you@yourdomain.com).

This is where all the action happens, so please read this page carefully to ensure that you choose the most appropriate option for your site.

It’s important to note that you do not have to host your site at the same place you register your domain name.

You could register your domain name at Godaddy.com and then choose to host your site some place else like HostGator.com, for example.
Why HostGator Hosting?

I often recommend HostGator because they offer an enormous amount of space for such a very low price.

In fact, they recently upgraded their plans and offer UNLIMITED SPACE. Yes, you have an unlimited amount of space for your web pages, which is almost unheard of with web hosting companies.

HostGator

A great option for large (or expanding) sites because they provide an unlimited amount of space. Quite honestly all these plans have enough space for almost anyone, but HostGator is by far the most generous.

This is the only hosting option that offers a built-in shopping cart (shared ssl), so if you plan to sell products then you should keep this in mind.

They also provide a built-in web page builder for beginners with tons of design templates. Or if you want, you can use your own program like CoffeeCup or my favorite, Dreamweaver.

When you are registering your name, just select the hosting option that says you’ll “park your domain here for free”. This just means that you are using another company (HostGator) to host your site. Then after your domain has been registered you’ll go to HostGator’s site to sign up for hosting.

Site Build It

This host is strictly for money making sites only. I am actually a customer and I used it to build another  site.

I earn around $1,000+ per month from this site through ads and referrals. I don’t sell any products directly, it’s all affiliate income. What’s even better is the site basically makes money on autopilot.

In fact, that site gets found in the search engines for over 10,000 different keywords in the course of a month. SBI! coaches you as you create every page to ensure you receive maximum traffic.

Site Build It! is not a get-rich-quick scheme. I didn’t wave a magic wand and money appeared. I did have to read their Action Guide and work on building my content, marketing my site, etc.

But it was nice that I could focus on that while SBI! handles all the technical tasks and search engine submission processes in the background.
