My First Domain

Today marks the day when I first own a domain!

I’m still trying to figure out how to use it, so I’m not gonna say the domain name here, for now.

=============================

This is how I start my first domain:

I bought this domain from godaddy.com at USD 6.95, with the help of dealtaker.com.

Then, I sign up at Dreamhost with a promo code found here. I was comtemplating between Bluehost and Dreamhost, when I saw this page in my research. I also saw one of the youtube videos I searched regarding buying domain here. Anyhow, I ended up with Dreamhost.

=============================

Three main things I learnt in buying domain:

  1. Choose a unique and relevant domain name, that is easy to remember.
  2.  

  3. Hopefully, it is a Top Level Domain (TLD), e.g. .com, .net, .org.
  4.  

  5. The domain has a clean track record in its online history. Archive.org is useful to check that out.

=============================

Now, I’m still trying to figure out how to do my website. For now, I just want to make this website function-able with a blog, an email, a contact form, and probably some tweaking of design. Now, this blog is used with Wordpress.org. So much to learn…

=============================
