Description

As a website investor I have owned and setup web hosting for literally hundreds of websites. In this course, the focus is on the end result. You will go through a fast, straightforward process to choose a new domain (website name), get the domain setup on a web hosting account and learn the basics of web hosting that you will need to know to operate your site. (Oh, and we’ll install WordPress!)

  •          It will be fast and efficient
  •          It will be a high quality web hosting provider
  •          It will be cost effective
  •          What you learn will apply to any future websites you may buy or create

So what exactly will you learn?

If you don’t have an idea for a website in mind yet, and want to learn the process before you commit, this is also for you.
