Today, we will teach you how to purchase a webhosting service for your website. In the previous tutorial, we have taught you how to purchase a domain name for your business website. Have you gotten yours yet? If you haven't, please head to namecheap and get one right now for your website :)

Before we teach you how to purchase a webhosting service, we will tell you why we recommend HostGator. Note: We are not a sales person of HostGator. Firstly, what really "wow" us is their live chat support staffs which are really friendly, patient and professional. We really have to give credit to them as they have helped us with our problems on several occasions. Also, their Control Panel is really user friendly and they offer a free site builder feature as well. We are very satisfied with their service and their support staffs are just superb, hence the recommendation.

Now, we will show you how to purchase your webhosting. Head to HostGator and you can see that there are several type of webhosting plans. In this tutorial, we will guide you on setting up the cheapest most basic webhosting plan which starts from $4.95 a month, depending on your subscription period.

Click on the button "View Webhosting Plan" and you will see the Hatchling Plan. Choose the appropriate subscription period depending on your budget. We would suggest you to go for the 1 year period. Then, click "Order Now" and you are required to insert your domain name on the right hand side of the form. After that, key in your necessary personal information and your credit card information to complete the process.

Once it's done, you will receive an email stating about your login information for your cPanel and billing system. You will also see 2 nameservers below with NS1 and NS2. These 2 nameservers are needed later on when you have to link your domain to your webhosting. Also, you will receive a call from HostGator staff requesting you to validate your information with them. So you may have to be available to take the call once you have purchased the webhosting. If you do not hear from them after 30 mins, then please expect an email from them which will request you to contact them.

After your validation process, you will then need to link your webhosting to your domain and this will be covered in the next article....
