A domain name is simply a signpost on the Internet. You need a name to represent your company and that what domain name is for. It provides a web address for people to search for you online. Domain name registration is relatively cheap as low as $10 per year.

Before you registered you own domain name, you need to choose a name that can be easily remembered or related to your target market. For example, if you are in the golf market, your domain name will be something like howtoplaygolf.com.

Though there a free hosting service available, I would suggest that you don't use them because your visitor will get irritating pop-up banners and advertising that distract your visitors from your site and make your site look unprofessional. Always find a reputable hosting company that provide online customer support, accompany with cpanel and free software that support your business.
