Register a domain name

It's time to register a domain name - and it doesn't have to be a terribly complicated process

You need to research your domain name very carefully. Don't just choose any old name that appeals to you.

My website package gives very good instructions about how to choose a domain name that will suit you, your site - and your visitors.

When I'm ready with my domain name choice, my webhost provides me with a very simple form to fill in and register.

Because my brainstorming tools, domain name, webhosting and sitebuilding tools are all in one package, there's no messing around going from domain name providers to webhosts and so on to tie it all together.

If you can use an option like this, it's so much easier - much less stress.

Right - now we're good to go - let's start designing the look and feel of your site!
