Now, that you are ready with few dollars, to buy a domain and hosting for you blog.

Buying a Domain

Buy a domain name from 1and1.com, the Domain will cost you $6.99/Year.

Don’t just take any domain name, think, think and think which name you want you blog to call

It should be related to on what topic you are going to blog about. It’s pretty important to name you blog as what service or information your blog is providing to visitors.

For Example, If you are going to write about dogs, so you domain name should include dog or anything related to dog in it, so that people should understand that your blog is about dogs, and if they are really looking for something related to dogs, they will remember your site and will visit it.

Buying a Hosting Plan

A blog mainly contains Content and Pictures sometime, so it take not that much of space, so you don’t need a 1000gb space for just on blog, (you are not going to upload movies on your Hosting server)

So if the site offers you a minimum package plan, grab it, and if you can always upgrade you plan if you feel the requirement of adding few more blogs when you start enjoying blogging and want to add few more sources of income.

I recommend you to use Hostgar or 1and1.com, they offer really nice plan and the best thing is that you can add as many as domains in one hosting plan. The web space they offer is enough for a so many blogs.

Changing the name servers

Now that you have got your domain and hosting, the next thing you have to do is changing the name serves, so that your domain can actually show your stuff which is going to be saved on your web space. Go to the control panel of GoDaddy.com and put the name servers provided by the hosting. Wait for few hours till the DNS refreshes.

By using the information given by the hosting, log in to Cpanel and make the MySQL database name, username and password.

Now that everything is done, you can use the automated system to install Wordpress (the most wonder full Content Management Software) Wordpress, is a platform on which a blog runs.
