I created a website what do I do now???
First you need to choose a domain name. A domain name is the name that identifies a Web site such as www.msn.com or www.rccwebproject.net.
Keep your domain names short! You don’t want to have an extremely long domain name that nobody will remember such as www.thisismyveryfirstwebsiteproject8874.com.
I have picked out a domain name but how do I know if it is available?
There are many websites that can check the availability of your domain name choice such as: whois.net. Not only does this website allow you to check if a domain name is available, but you can also type in an existing domain name and find out who it belongs to.
My domain name is available and I am ready to purchase it, where do I go?
There are many places to purchase a domain name, many website host providers offer the option to purchase your domain name and get hosting at the same time. I recommend omnis.com. They are inexpensive, reliable and have an easy-to-use interface. Domain names cost $6.95 for a whole year and hosting is only $5.95 a month!
I also recommending purchasing the UNIX hosting package as there are a lot of plug-ins available to add to your website with minimal effort.
