When individuals set up their own personal websites, they should aim to keep things as simple as possible, it has been suggested.<\/p>\n

According to USA Today’s Rob Pegoraro, the process should be more straightforward that when moving a small business online.<\/p>\n

He explained that when registering domain names<\/a>, people have a variety of options – some which are expensive, and some which are relatively affordable.<\/p>\n

Mr. Pegoraro noted that many of the services on offer through hosting companies are likely to have little relevance to individuals setting up their own sites.<\/p>\n

“Many of these add-on service tend to be aimed at small businesses; you can easily wind up paying more than you want for more than you need,” he suggested.<\/p>\n

“Your simplest and most affordable route will be to sign up at a beginner-focused blogging site that either lets you register a domain<\/a> with them or charges as little as possible to use an existing domain name instead.”<\/p>\n

And if the website is a success, or there is a demand for greater functionality further along the line, individuals may wish to consider a wider range of hosting options and domain name add-ons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
