What Do I Need To Setup A Website
DIY guide - Lets step through what you will need.

Probably the number one thing is to find and purchase a domain name. Sometimes this can be the hardest part. If you have a registered businees name this is a good place to start in selecting a domain name. Check availablity for our business name with some of the extensions (ie .com, .com.au, net, .net.au etc). If you are buying '.au' you can only purchase for min and max of 2 Years - Approx $15/yr
Example: Business name: Fat Galah Internet Hosting -> fatgalah.com and /or fatgalah.com.au
You can have as many domain names as you like. And they can all point to the same website.

What type of hosting is required - If you are just starting off, maybe a basic package. Most hosting companies allow you to upgrade your hosting. With Fat Galah it is quite easy to upgrade with many extra features. Fat Galah's Beginner's Hosting package $60/yr.
Each Hosting company offers different items for the monthly hosting fee. Some basic thing to keep in mind.
