All language subtitles for 29 - Registering A Domain Name With An External Host Part 1 English

Okay.

So first off, if you've registered your domain name with Shopify, then the next four lectures are

not going to apply to you.

So you can simply skip the next four lectures and go to the lecture where I talk about adding emails

to the Contact US page.

But if you're still with me, that means that you're interested in setting up email in what I consider

to be the correct way, which is with an external host.

Now, this is pretty straightforward to do, and of course, I'm going to show you exactly what you

need to do step by step so you have absolutely nothing to worry about in the coming lectures.

Now, in terms of cost, there is a small additional cost compared to doing it with Shopify, perhaps

one or $2 per month.

But I really consider that investment worthwhile to get it all set up in a more professional manner.

So which external hosting company should you use from the probably tens of thousands of companies out

there offering their services?

Well, in my 20 plus years experience, I've probably seen the good, the bad and the ugly of several

hundred.

And there is one in particular that I use a lot and I will recommend them to you in the next lecture.

Now, before I do that, I do want to say that you can use any external host you want.

If you've got your favorite, go for that.

If you've got one that you're using already, then by all means use that as well.

But if you want to take my recommendation, I can guarantee they're a very, very good company very,

very fast.

The support is excellent, which I think is something that a lot of people overlook, particularly when

you get into problems super cheap hosting companies generally offer very poor support.

So the support is excellent and I can also get you a small discount on the hosting package itself.
