1. Domain Name
You can grab a great deal on domains at Namecheap. Don’t worry, domains are very affordable at about 10 bucks a year, and some hosting plans even include one with their plan. I have always had great customer service for myself and my clients with Namecheap.
2. Hosting
These are 2 of the shared web hosting companies with which I have had great experiences (prices may vary due to special promotions during the year):
SiteGround – I LOVE SiteGround, and their customer service cannot be beat! The intro pricing is as low as $3.95/mo. with the regular price of $11.95/mo. (for the 36 month plan) after your signup period. They also have monthly, quarterly, and annual plans available. Click HERE for SiteGround.
HOSTGATOR – They are great for affordability, the customer service is good, and I like how easy it is to navigate. The intro pricing is as low as $4.46/mo. with the regular price of $5.95/mo. (for the 36 month plan) after your signup period. HostGator offers a month-to-month plan if you prefer paying monthly as well as very low costs on new hosting packages.
3. Theme
I HIGHLY recommend Genesis Framework Themes by StudioPress; as a matter of fact, I am now almost exclusively a Genesis WordPress web designer because they are superior to the other themes I have worked with in the past. If you have a different theme you love, let me know and I will be happy to use it or create something you like even better. Feel free to send links to website designs you like and we can go from there. I can discuss a customized Genesis theme with you if you would like the best value for your website.
4. Let’s Talk About Your Dream Site!
