Buying A Domain Name & Web Hosting
First of we need to know what this new website is going to about. When you know what the main theme of the site is going to be, you need to think of a Domain Name.
You should be trying to choose a suitable name which people can remember, and be easily spelt, and ideally mention your website topic.
Visit the Kimpton Computers web hosting page and type in the chosen domain name you would like and see if it's available to register.
Select the domain name you would like, remember you get any one domain name ending with .UK for FREE as part of the hosting package.
If your chosen domain name is only available to "Transfer" and you will not be able to purchase it. You need to be the registered owner in order to transfer these domains.
Use your browsers "Back" button to do another search until you find a suitable domain name. Once you have one, select it and add the domain name to your basket by using the bottom centre button.
Select the "Basic Hosting Package" then add this to the basket also.
Next you are offered some add-ons to your package. One we recommend is the "Website Builder Plus" package. Take a look at this package. It allows you to build professional looking websites it minuets! If you want to keep it as simple as possible, this is for you.
Add Website Builder Plus to your basket, otherwise, select the "No thank you. . . "
