The Author Site Project: Checklist
08 January 2006 12:43 PM | Internet and Web
This is a checklist of things I need to remember to
have my friend do in preparation for establishing and
doing business on the web. This will be a running
list.
General:
1.) Free Web Based Email Address - This is the very first step. Use this for all fan contact on the web. no sense in exposing one's ISP email to spammers by posting it on the web. Encrypting the email address will only slow things down. Recommend Yahoo email or Gmail, because both have excellent spam filters and antivirus built in. Both free. Also use this email for signing up for webmasters services since one tends to get put on mailing lists.
If Using Pro (Paid) Hosting:
1.) Find Easy to use Domain Registrar - At least Easier than Godaddy, which I think is confusing at checkout with all the special offers they make you jump over before purchasing a domain. Also the control panel is so-so for user friendly.
