Essential steps to setting up your web hosting

Here are essential steps to setting up your web hosting as seen on Stewhosting.com.

Step 1: find the right domain name

You will need a domain name. When thinking on a domain name it should match your business name. If that name is not available because someone else already owns it see if a different extension is available e.g. .net, .org, .co, .tv, etc. If the domain name is not available think on a keyword that is related to your industry and consider adding that to your domain name. A bit of wisdom to also consider is making sure the domain name is not long. If you’re having a conversation with someone and they ask whats your website is please don’t let it be long. If you give your business card (which mybasicllc can help design and print) and its long on the business card they may not want to type in a long name. You can get your domain name at boppeshoppe.com

(Start Here)  Boppeshoppe is owned by Steward Clinton founder of Stewhosting. At this point it is apart of the plan to continue promoting domain names at boppeshoppe until we are in a better position to become an independent domain registrar.

Step 2: privacy protection or no privacy protection

Once you find the domain name that is suitable continue with the process. You’ll be asked if you want to make your domain name private (Privacy Protection) which we recommend because if it is public people will contact you to try and sell you additional services. It will cost to protect your information but some people don’t mind and click on “no thanks”. Continue to cart going through the process until you’re brought to the next page where you will create your new account.

Step 3: Create your profile on boppeshoppe

In this next step you click on create account if you do not have one already, you will add your email address, create a unique user name and password, be sure to write them down and store them in a safe place of your choosing. You will also need to create a 4 digit user pin which customer service will need to access your account in the event you call them.

Step 4: Setting up your web hosting with Stewhosting.com

Next you will need to choose your web hosting plan at stewhostimg.com. We have 3 starting plans under shared hosting to give you the best good options to choose from. If you want better storage choose our vps plans here (VPS Web Hosting), with these plans you get premium service and support. The plan we recommend if you need web hosting, an ssl certificate and business email is the business plus plan at $16.97 a month. If you purchase each service independently you’re likely to pay more per month or per year. We created this plan with with a focus enabling businesses to put the savings toward marketing their business, we want to see you win. When you win we win, that’s the business culture we promote.

Step 5: link domain name to web hosting plan

You will see where it says “choose a domain” which means use the domain name you have purchased from boppeshoppe in this section to link the domain name to the web hosting.

Step 6: Configure

Once you’ve added the web hosting plan that best fits your need you can then check out. At that point you can pay monthly or pay yearly at which you will receive a discount or every two years and receive an even better discount.

Step 7: Review & Checkout

From here you will make sure you’ve selected the decided on web hosting plan and check out. Note that if you choose to pay for a year or above you will save some on your final cost. Next click checkout. Next add your information and choose whether you want to pay with paypal or stripe. Here you can choose to pay with credit card or debit card.

Step 8: Receipt and Its time for your web designer to build your website

Once you’ve made your payment you will receive a receipt at the email you used to create the account. Be sure to check your spam. If you have a web developer he or she will need your login credentials to gain access to your web hosting account.
