Looking good! In this lesson, I'll show you how to get your website live on the internet for nearly free ($0.01 for the first month) with Hostgator hosting.
1. Use this hosting discount
Want HostGator for $0.01? Enter the code "golongerplease″ for a discount. If you choose the Baby Monthly plan it should go down to only $0.01. Select "I already own this domain," and remove all "add-ons." Note that after one month it will renew for full price of about $9/month. So if you don’t want to keep this after the class then please just cancel it within a month
2. FYI on hosting options
- I strongly suggest you use Hostgator for this class.
- Just to give you some extra context on what's out there.... a few other providers that I've used for client projects in the past include: Dreamhost, Bluehost, & MediaTemple. It's hard to say one is "better than the other". They're all basically the same.
- Hostgator is the recommended host for this class because their customer service is great, server uptime is always high, and it's one of the most affordable. It's also the one I personally use on my own projects. If you go with Hostgator know that all accounts are pending review so until reviewed the domain may not work.
