When you finish developing your website, you need to do two things. Domain Hosting and Domain Registration. Here, website and domain words are used interchangeably.

Firstly, you have to park your website some place. For that you need what is known as a web host which should be reliable in every sense of the word. Search for reviews of different web hosts. Make sure the reviewer is not paid for top few on the list.

Secondly, after parking your website, you have to then register it. It takes a day or two that your website propagates through the Internet after registration.

Avoid free web hosting - when I started my first website, I used free web hosting provider. But I didn't like the excess of advertising and how slow pages were loading. Just as important is to have a domain name of your own.

Getting links to your website takes both time and effort. To protect that effort you need your own domain name. If you don't have your own domain name, you cannot move your web site to another web hosting provider when your current web host is no longer good enough, or when your current web host decides to shut you down because you get too much traffic.

If you have your own domain name, moving your web site to another hosting provider is easy and you automatically take all the links pointing to your web site with you.

If you really insist on free web hosting, at least pay for your domain. That should cost you less than $10 per year.

VodaHost Website Hosting service provides most of the properties a powerful web host should have. I selected it after reading reviews about several web hosting services. I paid a total of $95.40 for the whole year which comes out to be $7.95 a month. By signing up for the whole year, VodaHost waived the $30 setup fee as well as $19.99 for registration.

Domain Registration
You have selected a web host where you want to park your website. Next comes the part where you need to register your car, urr your website. Find a company, and there are so many, that will register your website. That company is called the registrar. The annual fee should not be more than $10 USD.
VodaHost Website Hosting service takes care of the registration as well.


Other Website Hosting Services
When I looked at reviews of other hosts besides VodaHost, I came to the conclusion that most hosts provide services almost in a similar fashion. The preference should be, along with a few other characteristics, on hosts or servers that are up and running the most. And that comes through experience with a particular host. Therefore, I have decided to promote a variety of web hosts on my website.
