Choose a domain or Blog name

Create your Web Presence

The first part as you start a blog this year is to choose a blog name.

Your blog name will be the name by which you will be known for online.

It does not matter what niche you have chosen.

It is the distinctive and matchless address of your blog on the Internet.

Your blog name will be yours, as long as you continue settling the annual fee, ($10 to $15 for a .com, .net domain, most preferable extension).

The problematic part of this will be coming up with a good blog name.

Your domain name should be easy to pronounce, attempt to avoid choosing a confusing or complex characters.

For example, the letter “O” can be easily confused with an “0” or a “L” for a “1” in some circumstances.

Try to consider a name that is impressive and expressive of what your blog is or what you want to blog about.

If your blog will be personal, the domain name could be your own name.

Cling to the fact that the precise name you want may have been taken by somebody else.

So in advance you can take the next step, come up with a list of names you like and a few discrepancies.

Choosing a Good Name For Your Blog
As you start a blog, a shorter domain is better than a longer one.

Should be easy to pronounce and easy to spell.
Clever names need more promotion than descriptive names.
Do not use a tool or special search box to see if the domain is taken.
Try to use a keyword about your topic in the domain name.
Avoid characters that can be confused.
Try to pick a .com, .net, .org. These are the most popular and are received better by your audience.
Your readers who know your blog name/URL (uniform resource locator) can simply type it into their browser’s address bar.

Others will be able to discover your blog through search engines such as Google and Bing.

So you definitely need to find a unique name.

In conclusion, it must actually be a memorable name, and easy to remember.

If a different extension or country code helps you be memorable, then disrupt the rules!

Decide On a Blogging Platform
As you start a blog, you will need to decide the type of blog running platform or tool you want to use.

I advise that you set up your blog on one of the self-hosted platforms.

However, before you kick start the journey to choosing a platform to blog on.

Let me define each selection.

The minute it comes to starting your blog you have the following options: free and self-hosted (recommended) platforms.

All three options I will be listing below are free but the first two options are the easiest.

But are also limited on configurations or features.

If you are just aiming to create spare few hundred cash from your blog, these options could work.

Nevertheless, if you are thoughtful about trying to make good money from your blog.

Then, self-hosting your blog will be the best choice.

Which I will talk about in the subsequent section.

Blogger Platform
Blogger
Blogger
Blogger.com​– For many new bloggers, the availability of free blogging platforms such as Blogger is enticing.

Blogger is very good and easy to set up, and Google owns it.

You can make special changes or customize the theme, and the domain name contains “..com.” like yourblogname..com.

In my opinion this is a little less professional and it is the indication of an inexperienced beginner.

No one will probably will not be taken seriously.

If you are thoughtful about blogging, you will want to move away from this option.

WordPress Platform
WordPress
WordPress
​ – This site is absolutely free and stress-free to set up.

You can customize or make changes.

The theme and other customization are limited.

Your domain name includes “.” like yourblogname..

The big disadvantage with these sites ( and Blogger.com) is that it will not allow you to place ads on your blog.

WordPress.org​– Hold on, you may ask what is the alteration amongst and wordpress.org.

To put it basic and simple:
