Subscribe RSS FeedI’m trying to start an online store for my senior inquiry project in high school. What is the best website to buy a domain name with some easy to follow, learn-as-you-go software? Is this going to be harder than I expect?

When you buy a domain name you are purchasing a right to use a system that converts the name into an internet address. You then must purchase a website from a web hosting service; godaddy.com , hostmonster.com are two I know. Google “web hosting”. Then you need site software for your store. joomla might be a good place to start. If your store isnt real, ie you arent going to collect money, dont worry about a SSL certificate. The answer to your last question is YES. Have fun!
Buying only a domain name is just buying a name for your website. The domain name simply directs people to your site. There is no software to it. You need to find website storage space and create a site or have someone create it for you. When you buy a domain name, it will ask you where your site is stored. You will put the actual website address in here.
Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99). They offer free extras with every domain name:
