Branding yourself as an Internet Marketer is extremely important. One of the first essential steps in creating credibility and a name for
yourself within this industry is to have your own website, capture page and or blog.

These are resoruces online that enable you to have a site hosted for free but any experienced internet marketer will recommend you host your own.

In the video series below, I explain why hosting your own site is important and show you how I was able to host and create my own website and blog.

I also provide you with additional resources and tutorials that I personally used to help put this blog and my other sites together.

How To Get HostGator Hosting for ONE CENT

Just a note: Thoughout the entire process of signing up for HostGator hosting, you will NOT be asked to pay for anything. HostGator handles all their billing thru a separate and secure billing area. This process is just to set up your account.

Instructions:
(If you don’t already have a first domain name, go to godaddy and get one)

1. http://tinyurl.com/hostgatorfor1dollar

2. On the left, under “Our Most Popular Hosting Plan” choose “View All Plans”

3. In the middle column of the three plans, you will see the “Baby” package for $7.95 a month (you can get it for $7.95 a month if you pay months in advance. Month-to-month will be $9.95 after your first one

cent payment….the 9.95 will start one month later).

4. Click the “order now’ button under the $7.95 Baby Package

5. Now you are on the “Order Wizard”. Choose – “I Will Use My Existing Domain and Update My Name Servers Only”.

6. Enter your new domain name in the Existing Domain box (no ‘www’ and make sure the .com or .net is in the last box)

7. Click ‘Next’

8. On the next screen, there will be a box for a coupon code. In this box, enter the word – wordpress. This coupon code will make it so your first month of a $9.95 per month

Baby HostGator hosting account will be billed to you for exactly one cent.

9. Finish through the order wizard. You won’t be paying anything in this process. Your account will be set up, and shortly after completing your order, you will receive an email telling you where to go pay your penny. Sometimes it takes you drectly to a payment page and sometime it doesnt and the payment method comes to your email.
