Starting Your Own Website

 

  The best way to start an online business is to build your own website. Building your own website is both fun and time consuming. There are companies that will do it for you at a cost. The more complicated the website, the more money it will cost you. Fortunately, MyFinancialDirect has links to all the necessary resources you will need to start your very own web based business. At this point you should know what type of site you want and what it should feature.  Here is a company if you would like to get your very own logo to make your business look more professional.

Step #1: Secure a domain name. In order to start any site you must have a unique domain name reserved for it (You ideally want it to tie in with the name of your company, think long and hard about it and hope its available!). We recommend one of the following companies to reserve your business's domain.

 

 

 

 

 

Step #2: Secure web hosting. Now that you have your domain name, you now need a place to host your website. If possible, I would recommend for new site owners to keep it all in one house. However we have links to multiple webhosting companies, just in case you would like to shop around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step #3 Build or have someone build you a website. Now that you have a domain and hosting, you must now build a site using either a program that you purchased or a built in sitebuilder that your host company provides such as Yahoo! sitebuilder. If all else fails, you can have a professional do it for you. Either way you know MyFinancialDirect has you covered!
