Exercise 4-My Domain


Describe your process in selecting a domain name.

In selecting my domain name was pretty easy, my husband owns a web hosting company and already owns a handful of domain names. So, selecting one was not as difficult a process as most people might encounter. I chose to use my blog site name as the sub-domain name for a domain my husband already owned.

Which initial domain names did you attempt to obtain before finding an available domain name?

I did try a domain registration site called Domain.com in order to see what was available. I tried several including: girlzfish2, willis-photography, aprilwillis.com. I am only using this domain name for this class after I graduate I would most likely go with something more professional.

What features of a web hosting plan seem most important to you?

I think that customer service is one of the most important issues to be concerned with, and since my husband has been a reseller with this hosting company for years and has had great success with their service and reliability. Also one that has a good stability and up time.

Why did you decide to go with the hosting plan you chose?

I decided to go with this plan because my husband has a vast amount of server space and bandwidth he can allocate for customers, so I decided to use whatever custom package he was able to create for me. This not only saved me money but also saved me time.
