THE FIRST STEP: WEBSITE HOSTING AND DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
The first step in getting a website "online" is to determine what domain name (ie: www.thevisualsense.com) you would like and if it is available. There are many companies to choose from for hosting and domain registration. These days, many companies will offer free domain registration if you also use them for your hosting. The domain name and website hosting are typically paid on a monthly basis just like phone or cable services. Some companies will offer a discount if you pay for a year in advance.
Why do I need a website hosting company?
Basically, your website files and graphics need to be uploaded to a "server" in order for everyone to reach your site online. The hosting company provides the server space to "host" your website.
