HG#1   Create You Account and Purchase you Hosting
 The first step to making you own blog is to create your hosting account.

With Hostgator  you have three choices to make a s a blogger when you visit  the  company's website

( i)Web Hosting ( Standard packages)
(ii) Cloud Hosting ( web hosting packages with 2 x faster load speed.)
(iii) Word Press Hosting (with a 2.5  times loading speed).

 As a starter, i will recommend you  select option (i) or (ii), depending on your budget.
Visit Hostgator and Make your choice here

 Then Choose the ''Baby Plan'' Package Type.  The baby plan is the best because  you can host unlimited domains  and sub domains ( For example  my websites www.askcamer.com and news.askcamer.com  and www.healthplero.com are all  in a single hostgator hosting  account. If you choose the ‘’Hatching Plan’’ You will be limited to one domain Only. Making it difficult for you to expand your business.

On the new page that opens you will need to caryout three main actions.
(a) Enter your Domain name e.g bestblog .com.
Here are some tips that will guide you to choose the perfect domain name for your website
*choosing a domain name that ends with .com is the best option to use
* You domain name should not be too long.
*It should  not contain hyphens.
This is your first blog, making it simple will be ok. There are however some cases where you can use this. But it is not recommended when you are starting a blog.
*Select a unique domain name that can  be easily remembered by your website visitors.
*  avoid copy rights infringement. e.g googlecamer.com ,microsofgermany.com among others. Be natural.
