Review and consider purchasing a hosting package from BlueHost or Hostmonster.

A hosting package from BlueHost or Hostmonster is the easy way to get your website up and running in just a few minutes.

A hosting package costing less than $9 a month from BlueHost or Hostmonster includes all the components you will need and they are automatically loaded for you.

Call me after you purchase your BlueHost or Hostmonster package by using the phone number below and I will email you (for free) a custom component/plugin (with instructions) that will allow you to change your banner (any time you want) after logging in from the front side of your website.

The hosting packages will send me an email with your name as purchaser confirmation of a hosting package and I will send you the banner component.

There will be no loading of a WAMP server or the JOOMLA core files as this is included in the two packages below.

You won't need PHP.net installed
You won't need mysql.org installed
You won't need apache.org installed
You won't need WampServer.com installed
You won't need Mamp.info installed

You will not need FTP accounts installed until you are more skilled

You will not need all of the other necessary programs installed on your PC or MAC  that take up space on your hard drive and use your system resources.

Call me at my cell phone at 616-634-3296 and I will tell you about my experiences with these two hosting packages from BlueHost and Hostmonster.

Call me if you have any questions about keywords, or my system for buying domain names that help you find a pond full of fish and move you naturally to the top of the search engines.

Review and consider purchasing a hosting package from BlueHost or Hostmonster as they both offer the best prices (less than $80 a year) and the best customer support in the hosting business and they also give you a free domain name!

You will need to identify the name of your domain. It will look something like http://www.yourdomain.com

The red arrow points the way. Now click the legal button and then the green "Complete" button.

Your screen will now start to generate a new website for you. When the blue sliding/timing bar fills to the right, your website will be loaded.

You will now have a link to the back-end or Administrator side of your website. The User name is always set at Admin and the password is randomly generated.

Copy the password using the "CTRL/C" or "right click and copy" options and click on the lower administration link.

Again, make sure that you copy the password using the "CTRL/C" or "right click and copy" options and then click on the link that displays your domain name with the /administrator extension.

You will then be taken to this page....

Enter "admin" as the user id and paste you new password into the password box.

Go to the "User panel", hit the "User manager" link .......

Follow the red arrow.....

 Go to the  "Administrator" link and change your user id and password right away

You will need to supply your name,  email address, your password (Twice) and then change the time zone to your location 

 The red arrows point the way.....

You now have a working website. Upload your favorite template and components and you are on your way...
