Before it can be used, a domain name must be connected to a web host that stores your website files.
Most people I talk to know absolutely nothing about this, so here’s a short video that explains everything (The explanation takes much longer than the actual connection 
)
The web host stores all your website files so that they can be seen on the internet.
There are thousands of web hosts to choose from, with varying price, features, and reliability.
To keep this simple, I recommend the hosting plans at Hostgator. I use them myself for a number of sites, including EricsTestLab.com which is a domain I registered to use as a test lab for examples that I’ll be discussing in future.
But feel free to do your own research, and choose your own host. (Just avoid GoDaddy.)
Check out WebHostingTalk.comif you want to spend hours or days researching what people have to say about their hosts.Now, that wasn’t too bad was it.
I’m sure you can do it too!
