If you decide to purchase your own domain names, which is what I recommend, you're going
to go to the first section in the dropdown, and I'm going to suggest you buy 4 different
domains. The first thing you want to do is scroll down
to the bottom of this page and there's going to be four different domains here. These domains
are what you want to model after. This first one is for the listing site that is going
to be built for you. The second one is for a sort of 'We Buy Houses For Cash' type of
site. The third one is rent to buy buyer site -- this is for buyers with doing lease options.
And this last one is the rent to buy sellers site, where we're trying to get people to
work with us as sellers. So model them after these names. You can come
up with anything you'd like. Some people like to put in states or city or whatever they're
working in. Some people like to stay more generic with what they're doing. You can do
anything you want here. Just make it easy to remember. I try not to
use dashes or numbers. Try to make it easy to read and easy to spell out and as short
as you possibly can, which is a challenge sometimes these days.
So then, what you're going to do is come back up here to the place where you purchased these
domain names and type in a domain name that you want to use, always pick a dot com, and
then do a search to see if that domain name is available. And, what a surprise, this 'WOEFOVMAOEFE'
is available! So let's say I wanted that one. I can add
it to my shopping cart here, and then all I have to do is click on 'Continue to registration'
to purchase it, and it'll take me through this process of filling out my contact information.
I'm going to scroll down the page and continue. You're going to want to fill out that contact
information. When you get to the second part, pick one
year instead of two. And click on next and it'll take you to the next part. Do the standard
registration. You don't need to spend money on this extra stuff, so click on next and
activate your domain. Don't buy any of this junk. Just click on next. And when you get
down to the bottom, it's going to ask you to put in your contact information and it's
going to cost you $9.99 plus, I think maybe 20 cents for tax. And then, you can just do
your checkout. Once you do that, take the domain names that
you've purchased... And it's going to ask you to set up an account, by the way. It's
going to give you a login name and a password. So once you have all of that stuff and you've
got your domain names, then you come down here and you plug it into this. Don't put
in the 'www' -- just put in the 'domain name.com' and plug them into these different things
here and then put your GoDaddy account number and your password here if you would, and that
way, we'd have access to it to help you with your name servers later.
But if you do it this way, we don't have to change your name servers at all. It's already
done automatically for you. And when your purchase is complete, just scroll down and
enter the domain names you just purchased into the ones you want to use. After that's
done, you're going to hit the 'Next Step' button. Now let me look up here. You don't
have to put in your domain name and user name if you don't want, but if we have it, then
it kind of keeps it for safekeeping for you. So that's all you have to do if you're going
to pick your four domains. And then go onto the next step. Thanks, now.
