Hello my name is Luis Estrada and I am a software developer. In this video I'll show you how
to create your own website on godaddy. Once you have purchased your domain name with this
registrar you need to choose a hosting service for your website. As we have previously discussed
you can choose between shared and dedicated servers. Godaddy also offers the service of
virtual dedicated servers. This service provides all the characteristics of a dedicated server
with one difference, your site still shares hardware with other websites. Some of the
nice characteristics of this service include ad man access to install and run anything
you want on the server, the ability to manage multiple websites on one server account, up
to three dedicated ip addresses, etc. For this case we will buy a shared hosting package.
We will use a web server with the Windows operating system installed although you could
choose a Linux server too. We will choose the economy plan of two months and add it
to our shopping cart. Now you have the possibility of customizing your hosting and adding some
great features like unlimited storage, e-mail, professional services to drive traffic to
your website, traffic statistics and reports for your website and secure socket layer certificates
that are used to provide cryptic connections to maintain your user's data protected. This
is important if your website will feature payment options or if the user needs to submit
personal information. If you want any of these options just select the appropriate box and
press on the add to cart button. Otherwise press on the continue button. Now you can
review your shopping cart. If you have a discount coupon from godaddy you can enter it on the
field and press on the apply code button. If you have purchased your domain name then
you should already have an account created. Log in to continue shopping. Then choose a payment method, either credit
card, check, paypal or a gift certificate. Once you complete the payment process you
will be able to associate your website with the domain name that you previously purchased.
I am Luis Estrada and I have just showed you how to make money with your websites.
