Just get their basic hosting I suppose if you're with godaddy. You'll be ok

Also look into WHOIS privacy on your domain if you want to stay anonymous.
That could be added later right?

If you prefer to keep your name and address info anonymous, I'd say do it ASAP.

When your WhoIs record is public for any length of time, it can be copied and indexed by search engines, as well as the domain registry history log.

So one year later, you decide you want to be anonymous. Your domain entry gets updated. But copies of the old one have already been made and are still retrievable on the web.

So the potential is:
1) someone googles your name and comes up with your domain page, including your home address and phone number
2) someone googles your domain and can ID you as the owner.

El mech, use Hostgator. Also Linkpush to build traffic. If you need a pro writer or team of writers to help you, PM me. Good luck!

Domaintools indexes everything. Its already logged and searchable (for premium users.) If its something really controversial you need to re-register the domain with whois privacy applied and/or register it using an alias and PO Box. Even then if there is a legal issue, real or fraudulent, the registrar will generally hand over your contact info.

I've dealt with multiple C&D from billion dollar companies, been involved with WIPO trademark dispute(s), etc.

One of my business associates had a porn business years back and extended family members found out because his name showed up somewhere associate with an unprotected domain :laugh:

Has somebody monetized on a blog?

I also came with an "idea" some time ago, but i always postponed the actual making. Until last weekend i decided to finally execute it, and surprisingly it only took me 2 days to do the whole thing.

The procedure i did was this:

- Buy a domain from godaddy with the hidden WHOIS feature (to remain anonymous).
- Buy the baby plan from HostGator. (Multiple domains, unlimited bandwidth)
- I installed wordpress from HostGator, which is actually trivial to do.
- I compiled some info about this "community" of people interested, that was all in a youtube video and posted 2 posts in the blog.
- I put the link to the blog in the youtube video inviting them to post the conversations in the blog instead of the youtube video.

Now i am little surprised, given that the blog did attract the users interested in the topic of yotube video, and it receives about 20 posts in the blog by day, and about 200 visits daily, this in the first week.

I am expecting to monetize, i just don't know how (this is my first time doing something like this) does anyone have some experience doing this?

Hard to say how to monetize when we don't know the market you are in.

My idea is related with the adult sector, there was some video about some local stripclubs, i just added a blog so they can post about their experiences, i plan to open a forum also. Could i monetize this?

So what do I do? The site is not running yet so upgrade my security?

Yah. Get the whois privacy dealio. You don't want nutjobs hunting you down any more than they already do.

I know on hostgator wordpress is a one click upload and I would imagine godaddy is too.

Quick and painless.

I haven't bought a domain in a while but that sounds too high. Must be some other security bullshit they try to sell.

Lemme get on godaddy and see where you need to go.

Done! Under my account it say "launch" for my selected items and web mail.

No clue about their hosting. I just purchase domains from godaddy and host it elsewhere.

You're going to want to create a wordpress blog. I would imagine godaddy has it so you can press a button to install one.

Try this link. http://support.godaddy.com/help/article/834

Fuck that shit through godaddy.

Get your hosting at hostgator otherwise you're just paying Danika Patrick's salary. :D

A basic hosting package at HG will have everything you need and be way cheaper with better service.

All you have to do is buy your domain at godaddy, get your hosting at hostagator, then set the nameservers to whatever hostgator tells you.

Simple.
