The first thing you'll need to do is get your own domain. The second thing you'll need to do is get hosting for that domain. So if you think about it, your domain is really just the address to your business. Okay, if you have your own product, or if you're just forwarding your domain to an affiliate offer is still like your address on the internet for your business. The hosting is more or less your house for your business. So everything that you do on your website will be on your hosting account, all of your documents, your videos, everything you have will be hosted on your hosting account.
So you need both they work together and they're very affordable. Okay, a lot of people think that this kind of stuff is really expensive and they shy away from it. But really, first thing is it's really just an investment in your business. You know, having getting a return from your business is all about investing and taking the time to make the right choices and take the right steps. Getting your own domain and getting your own hosting is definitely the right step. So the first thing you want to do is find your domain.
So here@namecheap.com it's one of the most affordable places to find a domain. And basically what you do is you come down here, and you start searching for a domain that you might want. So let's try one. The obvious one for making money online niche. How about internet? marketing.com?
Nope, not even nothing. No info. No I in no org, nothing's available. Okay, we figured that. Let's try a little longer one and see how we can see what's available. Make money.
Online.com probably the same. Yep, all taken. So you might have to try this out a few times. Try your hand. How about weight loss secrets? Okay, so there's a weight loss secrets.me available, all those others are taken, I recommend that you get the.com.com is the best there just seems to be some sort of credibility with that, especially if you're gonna have your own product.
So how about secrets to losing fat fast, that's a long one probably a little too long. But typically with the longer tail keywords here, we can get a more of a probability of success. All right, here we go. secrets to losing fat fast.com is 1069 a year. Okay, so as you can see, that's, that's nothing really. So basically what you'll do once you decide on your niche and decide what area you're trying to work in here, you'll get your domain, okay, and then you're going to point your domain to your hosting account.
So the first thing we need to do is sign up for a hosting account. Before we do that, the process here at Namecheap is just to go here to sign up. Once you sign up, actually, I think once you go to buy this, it'll give you a chance to sign up. Yeah, add to cart. There you go. And your do check.
Once you hit Checkout, you'll sign up, we'll give them some information. And then go ahead and add your domain to your account. And then you'll have free Whois guard for one year, which is great who is guard keeps people from being able to find you on the internet, it hides all your information. So you know if you you don't want to have all your address and your name and all that just public info. So who has guards great for that? So what we're going to do is we're going to go to host Silla and here we see that Whoa.
Scylla has a first class host Zilla traffic from 595 cPanel unlimited email accounts domain hosting, I'll show you how to set all that up. Basically what you want to do is sign up now. Okay, and then here you see you can choose your plan. All the plans have unlimited storage space, unlimited bandwidth, you get a free domain setups free all this stuff's cool. Okay, so right here we see this one's 595 a month. So let's click on order now.
And here we have two options, we can enter a new domain name, which we'll buy, depending on what plan we choose with his Scylla. But I like going to name cheap first, mainly because I like separating the accounts but really because it's just it's cheaper to go to name cheap than it is to buy a domain here. Okay, and I'll show you what I'm talking about. So we want to do is just say I'll update my DNS settings. So here we would say this is one Am I domains break free from fat.com. So we hit Continue.
All right, and then in here, you would enter your billing information. Okay, so down here, it automatically defaults you to the 36 month price, which is five, which would come out to 595 per month with the free domain. But you probably aren't going to want to start with that. So what you can do is go to the one month price, which is 1295 plus a 995 setup fee. You can remove all this because we already got the free domain privacy with name cheap, automated daily backup. If you want that you can have it you don't have to.
You don't need all this stuff. You can always update it later if you want to. So we've got our domain that was 10 bucks on namecheap. Okay, I would have been like 12 or 13 bucks here. And then so we see for 1295 a month. Plus a 995 setup fee, we've for 20 to 90, we've got our hosting account, and then it would just be 1295 per month.
Now obviously, if you're willing to pay a little bit more up front, if you're willing to pay 1195 per month for six months, then you wouldn't have the setup fee. And it would just be 71 bucks. So it really just comes down to, you know, what you want to do. And then you can do the 12 month price, which is 1095 a month, which would give you the free domain. But like I said, we already set up our domain name cheap, so we don't even need to do that. So you know, if you're just first starting out, you go with this one just to get your feet wet and see what's up.
Okay, and then you just enter your credit card information and click Continue. And what they're going to do is they're going to send you information to your email, it's going to give you your login, it's going to give you your password, and it's going to give you your hosting name servers, which you're going to need to go To your name, cheap account and update, because that's what you said you would do when you signed up. So basically, what that's going to do is it's going to point your domain to your hosting account where then from your hosting account, you can pull it up and start accessing it. So I'm going to go ahead and go back to namecheap.com. And I'm going to sign into my account and we'll show you exactly how to do this. Okay, so here@namecheap.com, I'm in my account.
Now, I'm going to go to domains, I'm going to go to Manage domains, I'm going to pull up one of my domains. So this is one of my accounts, I've got this break free from fat. And by the way, if you see this little guy right here, that means your Whois guard is protected. There's one of my domains, it's fast traffic fortune, so I'll click on that. And then I'm going to click here on transfer DNS to web host. You'll see here, there's two stars next to them.
That's where you're gonna need to put your hosting information. I'm going to put a link under this video to show you exactly how to do that. But really What you have to do is take these two, it's ns one dot hosts zillow.com and ns two dot hosts zillow.com. And you're just copy and paste, copy and paste. Cool, and then you'll save changes. Fantastic.
And that's all you have to do with your name cheap account. Okay, so all you really have to do is go in and point your name cheap account to your hosting and you can do everything else from your hosting account. So when you log into your hosting account, you're basically going to log in at a cPanel. So when you get your email, once you sign up, they're going to send you a link to the cPanel but the cPanel is all Going to be cpanel.yourdomain.com or whatever it is. So when I first set up my hosting account, I set it up with a website called lavish love life.com Okay, so my main account in my hosting is lavish love life.com. So, what I would do is just go to cPanel dot lavish love life.com and then I'll go ahead and login.
Okay, now I'm inside my cPanel Okay, so when I originally logged into my cPanel everything was already set up for me, okay, I already had a username already had everything already set up. So what you can do, once you're inside your hosting account is one cool thing you can do is you can change your email. So you can click here at email accounts. And you can actually create your own email. Okay, so I could, you know, you could create your own email which you would Be Your name at your website.com. So that gives you a nice professional email.
And then you could actually come in here and for that email to your main email account if your Gmail account or whatever that means every time you get an email to your hosted email account, then you'll get that email sent to you. So it's pretty cool. So you can always get a host Zilla, Google host Zilla, you know, email transfers for more information on that they've got some great video tutorials here as well. So all this should be set up for you. Okay, so I just wanted to give you a look at your cPanel yours will be a little bit different than mine because I kind of customized it. But since I added on a new domain and you get up to five domains, basically the way this would work is I would come here to add on domains.
And I would just type in the new domain name, which would be fast traffic fortune.com it automatically fills that in I create my own password here and then add domain. So this isn't something you'll have to do on the first domain you sign up with with her Silla but if you want to add on any more than you can always do that. Okay, it says the add on domain fast traffic fortune.com has been created. Now I can go back and I've got a new domain in my hosting account fan tactic. Okay, so there's a couple ways to add files to one of your to your website, you go here to file manager you choose the site you want to play with. So fast traffic fortune would be the site.
And here I can add all my files to here. Okay, I need to be logged into my hosting to be able to do this. So I can kind of create a page from here but you don't have to do it this way. One way, I like to do it all. be showing you this example, inside all of the software trainings as you basically click the link that says set up your FTP and you'll come here and you'll download and install files dilla. Okay, so file Zilla is essentially going to allow you to log in remotely to your hosting account and just transfer files back and forth from your computer.
So I'll show you how that works. So basically once you download file Zilla, and there's all the instructions for here on how to do this, but you'll essentially be able to just go in, you'll type in the username you received, the type in your website and type in your username you receive. And then you'll type in your password that you created. And then you hit Quick Connect. And that's going to pull up your whole site right here. Okay.
It's also going to pull up your computer. I wanted to shoot this video so you get an idea of What I'm talking about when I'm dragging all these files back and forth to my server, you may already be familiar with this. If you're a beginner you may not be. So this is, the initial thing you need to do is you need to go ahead and set up that gets your domain, set up your hosting. But then once you have everything set up, you'll never have to really log you won't really have to log back into your hosting and name sheet accounts unless you want to buy more domains. You know, update your DNS, and then log into your hosting account and pull up those domains create emails, you know, things like that.
But for your daily website building, you won't need to do anything but pull up your file Zilla and just go back and forth and file Zilla is free. The action steps are going to be to go ahead and get your domain set up your hosting and then download the file Zilla File Transfer Protocol. And then enter your username and password and domain name in there. Make sure all that works and then you'll be ready to rock and roll and start using these software. to their fullest potential. So thanks again for watching this video and we'll see you in the training
