How to use domain name in Kenya to make a website or blog
Registering your domain is important because the is the first step you take when you want to start a profitable blog or a website in Kenya.
A domain name is the what people type in a browser such as Google Chrome so as to view or visit your blog or website..
So for instance, this blog’s domain name is evamtalii.com which I bought from BlueHost as a package deal with hosting of the website.
A domain name can have very many different extensions including: .com, .org, .net, .info.co.ke, etc.
I highly recommend that you register a .com as it is the best. The only challenge is that since .com is the most popular extension, you are likely to find that someone has already registered your our preferred .com name.
To register a domain name in Kenya therefore, start by visiting an authorized domain name registrar’s website.
I highly recommend BlueHost with whom the Evamtalii.com domain name is registered and the blog is hosted.
