1) Find a place to buy your Domain Name. This is just a name, such as www.ibaam.com. Our recommendation is www.godaddy.com. They’re cheap and reliable. Suitable price range: $7 - $10/ year for 1 domain.

2) Find a hosting service. There are plenty, try going to Google and search for “hosting cpanel fantastico” as these will yield you the most features. Some examples include www.pctechmaster.com , and www.globat.com (tons of space, but not sure if there is a Cpanel) Suitable price range: $0 - $10 setup fee + $5 - $10/ month for any basic/cheapest plan.

3) Now you have bought these two services, you must link the name to your host. To do this, LOGIN to your domain provider (the one you found in step 1) and goto Modify Nameservers. There will be already existing ones, that are usually just temporary hosts. Change these nameservers to that of your hosting service (the one you found in step 2). In most cases, it will be NS1.SERVICENAME.COM and NS2.SERVICENAME.COM where SERVICENAME is the name of the website in step 2. Login to the email attributed to your domain provider and confirm the nameserver change.

4) Since these changes take 24-72 hours, wait, and when it is finished, www.yourname.com should correspond to the file manager of your hosting service. Now you can upload via FTP. You’re done.
