Start.
I have finally decided to buy my own domain name, cajentutorials.com. I had to mull over it for a couple of days, but if you want to have branding and web presence, you absolutely NEED to have your own domain name. The process of selecting your domain name is of utmost importance as you and your site will be known by that name. This post from NetBusinessBlog helped me at arriving at a more informed decision. It lists advantages of having a .com domain over any other domains out there.
This tutorial is brief and involves setting up your nameservers once you have your own domain. I purchased my domain at Geek Domains, they have the cheapest recurring domain pricing I’ve seen @ $6.95/yr + $0.20 ICANN fee. My total is $7.15 for one year.
UPDATE: As Robert suggested, you also have the option of signing up for a free domain.
Anyway, now that I have my domain, I need to setup my nameservers, that way the domain will point to my free webhosting!
If you are planning to purchase your own domain and host it at 000webhost, you are gonna need to do the following. First, login to your 000webhost control panel and create a new account. For the domain, enter your new domain name and assign a password for it.
