How to Get A Website, Step One

The first thing you need to do is come up with a domain name and see if it's available
There are a few registrars out there
Try www.godaddy.com or www.networksolutions.com

For my experiment I went to www.officelive.com
The reason I chose this route is that they offer a free 5 page website.

For this experiment, to see figure out the steps it takes to get to
a good position in the search engines, I decided to try to do it with the least amount of expense.

A free website is as good as it gets.

When I went to www.officelive.com, which is owned by Microsoft, they had a box where I typed in my desired web address, also called a URL.

I tried a couple of variations and chose www.classof2008graduation.com

It was available so...ta da...this is my first step to being a domain search expert.

Tomorrow I'll explore the tools available to getting this website built.
