Domain Register

To develop an online presence you need a domain, what I like about namecheap is their ease of use and you also get free WHOIS guard for life.

No matter when you are purchasing a domain through namecheap there are always discount coupons available HERE

Website Hosting

When you have your Domain name, then you need Hosting. Yep there are lots of Hosting deals out there.

My preference for Siteground is because of their awesome support service. You also get full cpanel, softaculous giving you 1 click wordpress install, super fast servers, free SSL, website transfers and all the bells and whistles for a very reasonable price.

My Theme

After a great deal of research I went with DIVI from elegant themes, the flexibility of this theme is simply amazing and covers every permutation from e-commerce sites to awesome blogs and beyond without the need for any additional add ons or the need to purchase any other wordpress Themes.

Email Autoresponder

Every tutorial on Internet Marketing makes the point that “The Money is in the List”, to develop and maintain a list you will need an autoresponder. After a bad experience with a self hosted autoresponder I have reverted back to a tried and tested service with GetResponse. As in life you get what you pay for, they also have an awesome 30 Day free trial.
