Shownotes for the first Klocast Beginner’s Guide.
The Beginner’s Guides are a sideline to the main Klocast podcast. If you’re new to the digital world then these guides are for you. We’re going to cover all of the core principles you need to know to be successful online.
This first episode is talking about how to start your online profile, the dangers to watch out for such as digital sharecropping and the first thing you should do – buy a domain name.
In this episode we talk about:
- The dangers of digital sharecropping – the original short link is no longer live.
- The role social media should play in your business – the original short link is no longer live.
- The importance of buying a domain name, including tools for finding a great domain name.
Buying a domain name
How to buy a domain name.
The first thing is to choose a registrar. Domain registrars are the companies who register your domain name. NameCheap is one that we use quite a bit and would recommend them to anyone starting out.
- NameCheap – the original short link is no longer live.
Tools for finding domain names
- Domcomp – the original short link is no longer live; the destination could not be recovered from the public source.
- Namemesh – the original short link is no longer live; the destination could not be recovered from the public source.
Cloudflare deserves a special mention. This is the best DNS service provider we know of. You’ll learn more about the DNS as you venture into the world of domains, websites and servers.
- Cloudflare – the original short link was no longer live at migration time.
Hosting
Kloc Hosting – the original short link was no longer live at migration time.
If building a website scares you or you’re really not technical then start with one of these builders. But make sure you use your own domain name with them!
