In today's video I will show you how to buy a domain name on Namecheap
step-by-step, I will also show you some tips for finding some deals and
discounts to save you some money. Another thing I will show you here is how
Namecheap is about half the price of GoDaddy and why I buy all my domains
from Namecheap. Make sure to stay to the end so you don't miss that. Well my name

and tools you need to create a successful online business, so if you

now it's not waste any more time and get right into this tutorial we all know how
important it is to choose a suitable domain name for our business as you
cannot change it later on down the line so I also have another video to help you
with that and I will put a link in the description below so the first step is
to go to name Chiefs website you can see here if you come to their home page you
will not find any deals here right it's just a general homepage where you can
type in your domain so I have a special link for you which is going to help you
find deals if they do have one it's an affiliate link so your going to support
the channel if you buy through my link but it's at no extra cost to you and you
can get that link in the description below so that link will take you to this
page where you can see here at the very top if or when there are promos you will
see them right away here right so right now their savings on Comm domains which
is exactly what we're looking for so I'm going to click on the promo code which
will copy it here and then I can start typing into the box here what domain I
would like so from my previous videos on picking a domain name I only recommend
com dotnet dot org because you sound more legitimate but in the end of you
can help it com is always the best so now I'm going to type in a domain
name to check if it's available so you can see here I chose dot-com dollar
SiteGround calm as my sample domain name a reason for choosing this name is that
I'll be using it to build out a full website with site ground hosting in that
video I will show you step by step how to build your own website from start to
finish from connecting your name cheap domain to site ground hosting to
installing WordPress and theme and it will get you started in the right
direction so you click on the link below to watch that video ok so you can see
here the domain is available for 8.88 dollars per year so then I click Add to
Cart ok so then go to view item and press checkout so this is where it gets
interesting when you're at the shopping cart stage okay so the first thing you
would automatically do was paste in the promo code where we found from the link
I provided before then I press apply so you can see here it's saying that I need
to be logged in I need to create an account first okay so I would do that
now so for the purpose here I will create a new account and show you what
to do so user name it can be anything and now you input the password your
first name last name and email address and then create an account and continue
so I have been put in my details and now I'm going to create my account ok so you
can see now that I'm getting an even even better deal right here from $8 88
which is already cheaper than anyone else and way cheaper than GoDaddy and
now it's $5 88 so just to quickly show you a comparison with GoDaddy I've
already brought up a page with the same domain name here
there we go so even though it says one dollar per month it's very misleading
you can see once I add to cart and go to the checkout you'll see how much it
really costs so the first thing was the full domain privacy protection this is a
must for me right because if you don't do this you're gonna get spammed by
marketers and everyone trying to sell their products to you because your name
is appearing online that you own this domain so you can have a quick look here
view the details it's this section prevent data from being accessed by
third parties right so people can't see your details email address connected to
this side and they can't contact you and spam you with emails and phone calls so
this is a must for me and it adds 9.99 for GoDaddy on top of their price right
so we don't need this create an email address we don't need that so continue
to cut okay so let's see the price now right so they have here as 2998 for two
years right plus two years of domain privacy which comes down to 51 92 all
right and I'll show you how much it costs through Namecheap for two years so
you can see it's crazy eighteen dollars as opposed to fifty one dollars so the
difference here is Namecheap already has the cheapest rate per year even before
their discount and then on top of that they give you the who is god which is
the same as GoDaddy's privacy and protection but here it cost $19 for two
years whereas Namecheap is free forever free
forever this makes it a no-brainer on why i would always choose Namecheap and
on top of that I must say the support system is fairly even for both as you
know I have used GoDaddy in the past before I switched to Namecheap so
they're both good in that regard but I hope I have convinced you that Namecheap
is the way to go purely on price it's almost a third of the price of GoDaddy
for two so let's say we just want one year for
now comes out to six dollars and six cents it includes this little fee here
and press confirm order and now we fill out our details right come to the bottom
when you are finished and press continue then you'll be taken to the payment
method stage okay so you input your details here and then press Continue
again and that's it you can see here that I have now successfully purchased
com dollar SiteGround comm and there's one more step to do here is to verify
contact information and we do that now by clicking on verify contacts and now
that shows email was sent successfully this means that Namecheap has sent you
an email to ask for confirmation so you simply go to your email address log in
and go to this particular email from name cheap and you can see down at the
bottom here it says click here to verify your email and all you do is click that
and a new window pops up to show you success and that's it very simple so you
can go to the dashboard and click on manage and it will take you to the
section where in the next video I will show you how to connect it to the site
ground hosting platform and that's it for this video and good luck building
your successful website
