STEP 2. BUYING & REDIRECTING DOMAINS
April 5th, 2010 // 11:14 am @ John Piro
You want to own your own name! You can buy domain names from many different sources. I prefer GoDaddy. I also suggest buying all domain names from one source so you can manage them much more easily. I made the mistake of jumping around buying from the least expensive source. What a nightmare! Do yourself the favor and buy your domains from one source. It will serve you well.

In the upper right corner you will see grayed out “Start Domain Search”. Type in your name and then select or type “.com” after it and the result will come up if it is available or not. You can expect to pay approx $10.69 w/ tax for a “.com” extension. (Note: You can start off with a very inexpensive extension “.info” for $1.17 w/ tax.) These prices are for a full year’s use of these domain names. (NOTE: Domain pricing is increasing in 2012)
Redirecting Your Domain (URL)
Once you purchase your domain name you will redirect it to whatever page you create your PIP (Personal Identity Page). We will come back to this after determining where this will be to get you started. To get started you can use one of your social network profiles such as your Facebook or LinkedIn Profile. This will be temporary because we will be moving your PIP to what we refer to as your “NERVE CENTER”. WordPress is the best & easiest to use.
