Remember to save your original e-mail from Host Gator with your account details

Note: When changing your Name Servers (moving your domain name from Godaddy To HostGator) you have a few options.

Recommended:

1.) Keep 1 domain name forwarded to your replicated site and buy another domain name to host your blog or website on. This way, when you refer people to your replicated site after they reviewed your blog, you will still have both domain names in place (hiding your affiliate tagged company site. An example of this would be:

YourInternetBizName.com (Hosted Blog / Web Site) leads your prospects to YourInternetBizName2.com (this would be your forwarded affiliate tagged replicated company site).

Average:

2.) Remove the forwarded domain from your company replicated site and change the name servers to point to your Host Gator account so you can install a wordpress blog or web site to that domain. You can still lead you prospects to your replicated site after or during their review of your blog or web site by simply creating a link to your affiliate tagged company replicated web site from within your blog.

Least Recommended:

3.) Continue to promote your forwarded company replicated web site and do not buy a hosting account. This is strongly Not advised if  your goal is to create an automated system.

Congratulations on taking action towards creating a better future for yourself. If you’ve found this page you more than likely found a great opportunity and are now working towards your goals in succeeding with your new business.

So, where do  you go from here?

Let’s get into it. Your first step would be to access your company’s back office and update your profile, address, and Information. Get familiar with the company’s compensation plan and adjust your financial information to ensure that you can receive payment. After you have doubled checked that you are able to receive funds in accordance to the company’s rules and regulations you’re off to claim your address on the world wide web.

Notes:

  • Try to include your company’s name within your domain name for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) reasons. An example would be YourCompanyNameLeaders.com
  • You have a couple options as to what to do with your new domain name. You can forward your domain to your company affiliate link, or get a hosting account and install wordpress to your domain (Discussed in later tutorials). Ultimately, I recommend installing wordpress to your domain to help brand yourself as someone your prospects can get to Know, Like and Trust.  If you’re using a company replicated site, people won’t know if there is a real person on the other side and that often leads to reduced sales. But, if you temporarily want to send prospects to your new domain name, forwarding it is a great solution for now. In the next tutorial we will change your nameservers and install your domain to your host. So, forwarding your domain is optional and you can skip to the next step if you decide to do so.
  • If  you decide to forward your domain, ONLY forward it. Do not “Mask” your domain in addition to forwarding as your company replicated site will often disable “cookies”.

Domains and Hosting

Domains and Hosting:

A domain name is the address to your website. You may know it as a URL (Uniform Resource Locator). You type a domain name into the address bar of your Internet browser when going to a website. So, why is it important that you buy your own domain name if your company gives you an affiliate link (YourCompanyName.com/?id=UserName)?

Well, there are a lot of reasons for this.

  • When you let your prospects know about your site, wouldn’t it make more sense to send them to a site like YourPersonalSite.com, rather than  YourCompanyName.com/?id=UserName?
  • You own your personal URL so people can access your site easily
  • You cannot use affiliate tagged or replicated sites when posting ads on major search engines
  • The more memorable the name, the more chance others will return to your site which in turn, increase traffic.
  • Only $10 per year.

Godaddy.com is the authority for cheap domain names.

Hosting:

Web Hosting is Housing, Serving and Maintaining Files for Web Sites on a server with direct access to the Internet.

Why is it vitally important to have your own hosting account?

  • You own the rights to all of your information. Without hosting, you can lose all of your work if you decide to place your content on someone else’s site.
  • Your files are hosted and maintained on your own server, allowing you easy access to make changes to your personal sites, capture pages and more.
  • You have complete freedom with all of your information on line.
  • Only $4.95 per month
