After rigorous research and testing, I've been able to narrow down the seemingly endless choices for web hosting to just three, Web Hosting Hub, SiteGround, and WP Engine. Depending on your needs, one of these will perfect for you. To find out more about this, check out my post, Top Web Hosting Companies For Small Business.
Early on in the process of signing up with Web Hosting Hub, I mention that it's important to keep your domain name separated from your web hosting.

You can get started with part one, but we really get into domain names and hosting in part two. Give these a look to help demystify the whole thing!

Once you have your web hosting set up, the next thing you'll need to do is point your domain name to your web hosting account. I show you how to do this right here.
