How to create a Website or Blog with your Domain Name

Posted by Adheeth On December - 19 - 2008ADD COMMENTS

When i talk to people about Earning Money Online all most everyone feels that they should also get online and do the same. The most common question i face from these people is. How do i create a website?

Creating a Website Online is a pretty easy one. You should have a credit card or a paypal account for the same to do your domain and webspace shopping online.

How do i Get or Buy a domain Name?
A domain name can be bought alone or with a webhosting package. If you are planning to buy your domain name alone then you should head to Godaddy.com. Godaddy is the best domain buy service in the world. You can get domains as cheap as $1 at Godaddy. You can also search in google for Godaddy coupon Codes which will let you get discounts for your buy.

Before you head to godaddy you need to decide on what exactly the name of the domain should be. For newbies i would recommend go for your name as it lets you create your presence online. If you are not keen on having a website in your name then try out different names and if it’s available, grab them quickly.

You can complete your buy using Credit card or Paypal Option in Godaddy.

How do i find a cheap webhost?
There are plenty of cheap webhosts around and some offer Unlimited space and Unlimited transfer. All the cheap webhosts lets you buy space for less than $100 a year which is pretty good. You also get a free domain name with from them. So the best option would be head straight to a webhost and register the domain for free when you buy your webspace.

Some of the recommeded webhosts would be

Once you have the domain and the webspace, the basic requirements are done and we need to install wordpress. How to install wordpress i’ll cover in another post.

Biggest Domain name Buys!

Posted by Adheeth On February - 13 - 20082 COMMENTS

Would you mind shelling out $1million to get a domain name that has a letter more than yours?? This is what exactly the British Travel company has done. They own the domain name cruise.co.uk and they bought the domain cruises.co.uk shelling out £560,000 ($1.1 mln) virtually for a single letter.

Why do people spend a lot on domains?

The reason is pretty simple. It’s a one time buy. The word cruises is placed top in search engines compared to cruise and the chances of getting potential customer is more even though it’s just a matter of a letter. In the long run, it can turn very profitable.

Highest paid Dot com Buys

No points for guessing on this. SEX sells like anything in any part of word and the Sex.com  is the current most expensive domain which was bought for $12million in 2005 followed by porn for $9.5 million.

Long live the good domain names!! n let money flow in. It’s always good to invest in good domain names,it more like domain real estate and it can fetch u good money later on. It wont cost much, but surely does take time to analyze the best names so that you can fetch in good money for the same. Do some digging and get a game in hand!

How to do a Domain Transfer

Posted by Adheeth On August - 25 - 20071 COMMENT

It’s been ages since i did a post here. I was busy with work and also i moved my domain to a new Host. Now adheeth.com is hosted with Godaddy. This was the first time i did a Domain transfer. Believe me i took the risk of Moving the domain on the last day of when it was getting expired(guys it’s pretty risky).

Procedure for Domain Transfer using Godaddy

First Step : Goto Godaddy Domain Transfer Page and give the domain name which you want to transfer and then proceed to checkout (payment).

Eg: You need to transfer Domain.com from ABC host to Godaddy and once you are done with the checkout for tranfering Domain.com to godaddy you will recieve a email from godaddy with transaction id and security code.

Second Step : Once the payment has been made, you have to goto godaddy domains manage page -> Pending transfer Link -> Choose the domain.

Eg: Here you choose the domain name as Domain.com as we are trying to tranfer that domain name

Third Step : Click the Authorization button and select Begin Transfer Authorization from the list. The Authorization button is located in the right corner of the toolbar.

Fourth Step : In the Transfer Authorization Page enter your transaction id and security code you have recieved via Email.

Fifth Step : You also need to enter a Authorization code which you will get from your earlier registrar. This autorization code can be got from the domain control panel of the earlier host. It will also be called Domain Secret. You can check for that for authorization code for your domain in the domain cpanel. If there is no Domain secret set. Set a domain secret and use that as your Authorization code.

Sixth Step : The transfer has been initiated and will only be completed once your Old registrar approves. Normally this takes 5 days. A mail will be sent by the old registrar to your domain admin email address saying about the same.

Seventh step: Once the Old registrar Approves the domain transfer will proceed and will be completed and you will be notified by godaddy by Email.

Note: Your domain should be set to Unlock Mode to initiate a domain transfer.

Hope this just gives an idea to people who are looking forward to do domain transfers.

The domain transfer will only take place if you have passed the 60 day mark with the current registrar meaning with the current registrar after registration , 60 days has to be over before you can do a domain transfer.

I hope all these information put some light :)

Paid Paragraph
If you want to design and host your site, you will have to look for much more than a regular domain name registration. A usual web hosting service will not be useful in this context. You can go through various domain registration faq before finalizing one. But ideally you should stick to domain name rules before applying for domain registration. Very few web hosting services will be able to offer all this.
