1. Is it going to be a static HTML site or do you need a website builder or a CMS? If you only need a simple static website, any host will do the job just fine, so you can concentrate on the cheapest pricing. However, if you need a CMS or website builder solution, look at the best providers that include auto-installers or built-in website builders.

You also get free SSL and free backups with the lowest level Shared Starter plan, which is another major positive for going with DreamHost. The company also claims it doesn’t track bandwidth usage — hmm, I bet they do — but this does mean that you aren’t restricted, which is really important if your site grows quickly and starts getting huge amounts of traffic.
It’s a personal preference whether to register the name directly, with a domain name registrar, or with the web host. In any case, you want to make sure you are assigned as the owner, the administrative, and technical contacts for the domain name you purchased. If you are buying multiple domains, it might be easier to use one good registrar. But, if you are buying a domain name and planning to make a website or use it for custom email purposes, it will be easier to go with the hosting company (hosting account) and keep everything under one roof.
Why is simplicity important? Because you don't want your future visitors to incorrectly type in your name and be directed to a different site. A classic example is the popular social media site, Flickr.com, introduced in 2005. Four years later, the company had to acquire Flicker.com for a large sum of money in order to redirect the many visitors who misspelled their name. If you're determined to have that oddly spelled name, make sure common misspellings are also available so you can register them and redirect visitors to the main domain.
Basically, almost all the domain names have been registered at some point in the past, so the chances are that the domain name you’re trying to register has already been used by somebody else in the past. This sometimes means that the past owner might have posted illegal things, or adult stuff, scams, spammed, etc…thus Google and other search engines blocked it from ever appearing in the search engines ever again.
Despite the rapid speeds and affordability services, there is a cost, and that’s the uptime. At a reported 99.91%, that’s quite low when compared to our other top choices. This is despite guaranteeing a much higher performance level. To combat this, there’s always the 30-day money-back guarantee, so the risk of your site being down is somewhat mitigated.
Hey Richard, as mentioned, having keywords in your domain is no longer as important or powerful as it used to be. What’s more important is that your URL is recognizable and easy to remember. If you create top-notch content, Google will rank it even if it’s under a seemingly unrelated domain. At the same time, it doesn’t hurt to have keywords in the domain (as long as it doesn’t sound spammy), especially for local SEO (think bestpizzanewyork.com). Hope this answers your questions!

Aweber and GetResponse. Technically you can make any email autoresponder service work, but you'd have to be strategic about it if you are doing Affiliate Marketing. I've heard so many unfortunate stories about other providers closing peoples accounts due to affiliate marketing. However, Aweber and GetResponse have been more supportive of affiliate marketing and are currently the safest choice if this is what you want to do.
Choosing a domain name isn’t easy. You want a website address that will be both memorable and meaningful while simultaneously describing what your brand is all about. But even after you’ve come up with something catchy and worthy of your brand, you may find that the .com domain is already taken. That only leads you back to the drawing board, which means more headaches.
In brief, we are inclined to go along with someone’s suggestion if we think that person is a credible expert (authority), if we regard him or her as a trusted friend (liking), if we feel we owe them one (reciprocity), or if doing so will be consistent with our beliefs or prior commitments (consistency). We are also inclined to make choices that we think are popular (consensus [social proof]), and that will net us a scarce commodity (scarcity).
