Domain Name
The first thing that you will need to do is decide how your site is going to be accessed. You can either access the site via IP address, or domain name. If you choose to use a domain name, you will have a few more decisions to make. You can get a free subdomain, but we recommend that you spend about $10/year to get your own domain.

DNS
After that you will need a DNS (Domain Name Server). You can either pay for DNS, use a free DNS server, or host your own DNS server. If already have a hosting plan, your provider may provide you with DNS.

Hosting
The last thing that you have to worry about is hosting. Like the last option, you can either use free hosting, paid hosting, or host your own.

For more information on any aspect of hosting check out our Webhosting Chat forum and also the Webhosting FAQs.
