I have partnered up with HostGator to bring you this video where I will be guiding you through the steps necessary to register a domain and hosting your website. We will go over a brief overview about the services that HostGator offers and then I will be showing you how to upload your website online to the internet by using an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) client called Filezilla.

hey what’s up YouTube whoo you’re here in today’s video I will be guiding you through the process of registering a domain name as well as getting a web hosting plan using Hostgator the Anto is the end of the video I will also be showing you how you can use an FTP client called FileZilla to transfer all your files onto the server to launch your website out on the Internet but before we begin I wanted to thank Hostgator for letting me be part of
the affiliate program I will be placing my affiliate link in the description below and what that means is that whenever you guys click on that link and make a qualifying purchase on Hostgator I get a little bit of money back in return which helps support the channel I will also be placing a coupon code which can help you save up to 60% off depending on the type of purchase you make so now the real question is why choose Hostgator well aside from
being super affordable Hostgator has an amazing customer service not only are they there 24 hours a day 365 days a year they offer you 45 day money-back guarantee and if you guys need help migrating your site from a previous host they’ll be there to guide you every step of the way not only that their uptime is always 99.9 percent aside from web hosting they also offer you a few other different things as you can see here they have a website
builder they also have WordPress hosting VPS and dedicated but that’s besides the point now let me show you guys how you can get started so we are just simply going to click on this button right here and now we have three different plans we have the hatchling plan baby and business so the main difference is that the hatchling plan is the lowest the one that you can get and that only offers a single domain as opposed to the baby plan which offers
you unlimited domains so if you plan on have multiple web sites then I recommend you go with the baby plan but if you just want a single one then the hatchling plan is the one for you and this demo the one will be choosing is the hatchling plan so once we click buy now we’re going to be taken to this page right here so the first step is for you to choose a domain if you already own a domain then you can just type it over here but since in most
cases we’re gonna be doing this for the first time you’re gonna be here on the register a new domain so you’re going to choose your domain and for this demo I’ll just say my awesome domain and now it’s going to check to see if it’s available and as you can see here it’s not available so I’ll just say hahaha it’s going to check again and now we see that it’s available so we’re gonna be scrolling down and here you see something called domain
privacy protection and what this means is that whenever you register a domain for example in this case you’re doing that with Hostgator they have to forward all that information about you to I can which is the Internet Corporation for Assigned numbers and names oh actually I think I got that backwards I think it’s the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and numbers and what they do is that they run various tasks and one of them is the Whois
directory and basically at the Whois directory they publish all the information about you that means your name your telephone number you email your address and a few things more but if you have this at domain privacy then what that means is that all the information about you is gonna be hidden which is going to help you reduce spam calls as well as spam emails so this is something that I highly recommend and it’s something you have to do um once
a year which isn’t so bad so again step two is where you choose to plan remember we chose hatchling but if you change your mind you still have the other options here then you choose your billing cycle you can do one month three month and so on up to 36 months and that’s the one that’s gonna save you the most amount of money as you see here up to sixty point fifty percent off so if you’re looking for something long-term I recommend either 12 24 or
36 36 since it’s the one that’s gonna save you the most amount of money so the next step is for you to choose a username in my case when I did this I chose this one and the next step is for you to choose a security pin so the security pin as you can see here it’s just gonna be allow it’s gonna be allowing you to verify that you’re the one who owns that particular account when you contact their customer support so as you can see the criteria here
it must be between 4 to 8 characters long may only contain numbers and may not begin with 0 so if you see this like a zero there it’s not gonna go through but if you do something like 20/20 that’s perfectly fine or even like either the two by mistake but it doesn’t really matter so that’s pretty much all there is to it the next step is for you to enter your billing information so in here you want your email again name and I mean company is not
required but every single field that has a star you actually have to fill in the next step is for you to choose the payment type you can do credit card or you can do a PayPal the fourth step as you can see here you get free SSL certificate which is pretty nice and this is just some extra add-ons you don’t really need this but if you really wanted it I guess you could um ticket but in my case I own ticked it because it wasn’t something I wanted
you also can backup your files get professional email improve search ranking with SEO but again that’s only optional so finally you see that over here you already have a coupon code applied but if you want to use fine you can just simply do Julio it’s out of focus Julio codes 60 and then you just simply validate so here you’re just gonna have an overview of the amount due and then once you’re ready to proceed you’re gonna be clicking this box
over here and then check now once the payment is processing Hostgator is gonna start to process your account and it may take a few minutes but once that’s done you’re gonna be taken to this portal you see over here and obviously we don’t want to be doing any of this for now because what we want to do is transfer our own files using FileZilla so that we can launch our website so for now I’ll just close this it’s something that I do recommend is
that you go check your email account because Hostgator is going to be sending you an email with all the information about your site including a randomly generated password that you’re gonna be using later on to login into your account as well as when we use FileZilla so what you want to do is change the password to something that you can actually remember also you’re not going to be able to access your website right away but um with the domain
name and the reason for that is because it usually takes about one to even a few hours sometimes for it to become available in some cases up to 24 hours but in my case it only took about an hour so with that out of the way what we want to do now is just do a simple google search for FileZilla and it’s gonna be the first result here so you’re just gonna kick it click it and then you’re just gonna be downloading the file select client as you can
see here at the text that I’m on Linux so I would just click here to download it if you’re a Windows or Mac you would do the same thing and then you just go to through the setup process I already have it installed so I’m not gonna be doing it again so now we’re gonna be opening up FileZilla and remember that I told you to take your emails because you’re gonna be receiving an email that looks something like this and this has all the information
you need to actually access your site also even though you can’t access your site with the domain name right away as I mentioned you do have to wait about an hour so in some cases even longer you can still access your site by using the IP address you see here and then for example you can see that I can already access my site but that’s because I already did this a while ago and for now it’s empty but for example two exits to access your site with
the IP address this would be your IP address so you would type your IP address here then you do the forward slash and then you just do this quickly lying that you can find on top of the tab key and then you can use your username and then you just hit enter and as you can see here this is gonna take you to your directory and it’s empty for now so we can just go back to FileZilla and I can pull all this information you have over here then we’re
gonna go to file then site manager new site and here for host you can just plug in your IP address and if your domain name it’s already working then you can use that but in most cases you’re going to be using the IP address so for this demo I’ll just show you the IP address which mine is 57 then to 47 and then to 22 in some cases you might also have to put in a port number but for now I don’t have to worry about any of that because it’s not
needed for me so for the encryption type you can just use plain FTP logon type you can do normal and here you’re gonna be using the username you chose so in my case I chose this one and then you can use the password you see here although as I mentioned I do recommend that you go into your settings and change it to something that you can actually remember which is exactly what I did and then you can just simply click connect uh I also have some
additional preferences so I’ll have to type in my password again and as you can see here the connection was established and now I see all the files on the server we want to scroll down to this folder right here that it says www which is going to be the public HTML and what we want to do now is just grab all the files that we want to put in here which is gonna be our site for this demo I will be using the portfolio we worked on on one of the
tutorials a while back I’m gonna copy all the files and I’m just gonna drag them and drop them here files are guys we copied over and once it’s done you’re gonna be seeing a notification that says oh files have been successfully transferred so now I can just simply go back to my website and then I can just refresh and you see that all the changes have taken place and yeah guys that’s pretty much all there is to it so if you enjoyed the video make
