Hello World!

                     Today we are talking about how to create your website to practice Digital Marketing.                               

What kind of website do I Recommend?

: Self hosted word press blog on a custom domain.

: Free blogs are not recommended(you are not building on your property)

: Websites builder and html templates also do not give you flexibility

: Blogging is better than building static websites.you can make revenue with blogging



How to choose a Domain name?

: Make the name a brandable name

: Keyword domain are also ok if you can build a brand arround it(eg learnblogging.com)

: .com name is preferred.less than 10 characters

: Country Specific names are ok if you are sure you will not expand internationally in the             future.



Where to Register Domain name?

: For cheap name-GoDaddy.com,BigRock.com


: For high security-name.com,namecheap.com

: Needs to have very good customer support 

: You can register domain name and hosting separately.



Where to host your word press blog?

: I recommend Hostgator.com for starter websites(choose baby plan)

: No one gives unlimited storage or brandwidth in real world

: For 500+ visitor a day and higher page load speed:managed word press hosting is                        recommended

: For 10,000+ visitors a day vps or dedicated servers are good options.



Linking your domain & hosting 

: A domain name is like a name in the address book

: IP address of the server is like the phone number of the person(which changes once in a while)

: Domain can be connected with CNAME records,A records or using name server(it's complex
   but you don't need to care)
