To have your own domain name (.com, .net, .org, .nu) you must register the domain. This typically costs anywhere between $10 to $12 (USD) and is billed on a yearly basis. GoDaddy and E-Starr are two companies that register your domain for less than $12 a year.
Domain Hosting
You need space to build your website. Hosting is usually charged on a per-month basis, and you will receive a set amount of space and bandwidth. E-Starr offers a basic personal hosting package with 200 MB of space for $5.00 per month. GoDaddy also offers a 150 MB plan for $7.99 per month. If you need hosting for business needs, there are larger packages available.
Special Considerations
If you are not familiar with HTML or graphic design, you may want to hire someone to create your website. A Web designer will code and upload your website. Prices vary based on the size of the job. Look locally for a Web designer. You may want to go to a local college and advertise you are looking for someone to create a website for you. Many students will work for cheap to build their portfolios.

How to Set Up Autoresponders in GoDaddy HostingIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Navigate to the GoDaddy email login website (see Resource 1) and then log in to your account.
Click the 'Settings' menu on the Web page that opens and then click 'Personal Settings.'
Click the 'Auto Reply' tab and then click to select 'Enable Auto Reply.'
Click to select either 'Default' or 'Custom' option below 'Reply From.' If you choose 'Default' then the auto-response email will be sent using the email address from which you normally send emails. On the other hand, if you want the email to be sent from another email address, choose 'Custom' and then type the email address.
Click to select either 'Default' or 'Custom' option below 'Reply Subject.' If you choose 'Default' then the auto-response email will be sent using a subject as set in the GoDaddy mail server. On the other hand, if you want the email to be sent with your specific subject, choose 'Custom' and then type the subject of the auto-response email.
Click to select either 'Start Now' or 'Start On' option below 'Start Time.' 'Start Now' will start the auto-responder immediately. 'Start On' allows you to specify the time from which you want the auto-responder to automatically become active.
Click to select either 'No End Time' or 'End On' option below 'End Time.' 'No End Time' will keep the auto-responder active forever and 'End On' lets you specify the time from which you want the auto-responder to automatically become inactive.
Click to select either the 'Once per email message' or the 'Once per email address' option below 'Reply Frequency.' The 'Once per email message' option will send an auto-response email for every email that is received. On the other hand, the 'Once per email address' option will only send one auto-response email to a particular address irrespective of how many emails come from that address.
Type you auto-response message below 'General Reply Message' and then click 'OK.'

How Do I Host My Own Web Page?In Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Look for a domain hosting service, or domain registrar, such as GoDaddy or Active-Domain. This is the company through which you will purchase your domain name (i.e., www.yourwebsite.com). Most registrars will charge you up front, but generally only bill you once a year. Pricing will vary depending on the domain name itself and what services you purchase with it, like protecting your name. (Sometimes searches for your domain name will display your personal information, like name and address.)
Look for a Web hosting service to host your files and connect with your domain. Some domain registrars offer Web hosting as well, but if you find another hosting company with better pricing and service, you can use both without any hassle. Examples of popular Web hosting companies are HostGator and 1and1, but you can find many online to fit your budget and needs.
Connect your domain and Web hosting by updating your nameservers. Your Web hosting service will generally provide you with two nameservers to use with your domain hosting. In your domain hosting profile, click on the domain name you purchased, and update the nameservers that your Web hosting service has given you. This essentially links your domain with the files you hosted online. If you need assistance, your host's technical support will be able to offer the best service.
Upload your website pages in your Web-hosting control panel, in the public_html directory. If you have linked your domain and hosting, then your domain will automatically show your index page (though the changes may take up to a few hours to propagate).

Tax Treatment of Domain Name CostsIn Feburary 2016 16,
In Feburary 2016 16,
The validity of a domain name cost as a viable tax deductible expense depends on how the expense occurs. To begin with, the cost needs to be specifically identified. Domain name costs can arrive in a variety of ways. These include domain registration, purchase of an existing domain, development and brand design including the creation of a domain name, and revision work. The applicable tax rules vary depending on which category an expense falls into.The first step for a taxpayer to confirm is which type of tax treatment applies. The taxpayer needs to determine if related expenses associate with a hobby or with a business.
Tax Treatment as a Hobby
Hobbies have a special treatment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service since the agency understands that some hobbies can be profitable but are not full-fledged businesses. A tax filer notifies the IRS of a hobby's existence when filing personal income taxes. The tax rules generally allow expenses to maintain the hobby to be deducted from the hobby's declared income. However, such expenses, whether they are Internet-related or any other kind of expense, are not allowed to be more than the profit declared. In other words, the tax filer must avoid declaring hobby income as a loss. The lowest the hobby income can be is net zero as a dollar amount for the tax year. So domain name costs can be included if domain name collecting is the tax filer's hobby, but the expense cannot exceed the total income earned from the activity.
Tax Treatment as a Business
The IRS looks at domain name costs in two ways: capital costs and ongoing, recurring business expenses. General registration, added domain name protection services and recurring maintenance costs for a domain name are all considered regular business expenses. These are deductible from income a business may earn in the same tax year.However, where a business purchases a domain name that already exists, or invests heavily to develop that domain name as a brand and trademark, then the IRS looks at the related expense as a permanent business benefit. Such expenses move toward capital costs that need to be depreciated over time, much the same way as a company vehicle purchase is reported and depreciated. Doing so reduces the deduction benefit of the domain name expense against a single year's income.
Documentation
For either a business or hobby involving a domain name cost, documentation represents the best success for defending one's case before the IRS. Receipts, invoices, emails involving payments, and bank statements provide valid, legal proof of expenses with sufficient detail to identify the cost and who charged it. Hearsay and verbal recollection generally fails any practical level of proof for tax agencies
Responding to an Audit
If you find yourself being audited for including a domain name cost as a business or hobby expense in your taxes, avoid panicking. IRS reviews, known as audits, occur regularly. Audits can be triggered by automated screening, red flag areas of tax filing, random selection or external information provided to the IRS. Rely on your documentation and explain your actions fully. Then work with the auditor to close the issue in a timely manner. Do not delay responding or ignore the audit; this can result in serious penalties.

How to Create a DJ NameIn Feburary 2016 12,
In Feburary 2016 12,
Survey your friends with your ideas. Only ask those people who are completely honest with you. Groupies only feed you compliments and don't tell you if your name is lame. Run it by some really hard-core clubbers for the best feedback.
Consider a play on your own name. Alliterations such as Brat Boy Bob or Freaky Phil are easy to remember and keep it personal for you. While DJs may spin other entertainers' recorded music, they provide a party atmosphere with their personality and style. Make it personal by including a piece of your own given name in your working persona.
Take a piece of your favorite online game character or movie hero. For example, Iceman is a popular X-Men character who is easily recognized. Steal a piece of the name and make it your own disc jockey name, like DJ Iced or DJ Instant Iceman. Most disc jockeys do put the DJ somewhere in the name to help them stand out in a crowd of advertising entertainers.
Choose a name that reflects the kind of music that you play. A name such as DJ Hip Hop Harry tells your audience what to expect in very few words, while providing a memorable name they can talk about to their friends. If you want to develop a following, you need to say as much as you can in as few words as possible about what kind of disc jockey you are.

What Is an SMTP Server?In Feburary 2016 01,
In Feburary 2016 01,
Mail-delivery protocols began in the 1960s and continued to become more standardized as the number of hosts grew. SMTP was defined by Jon Postel in 1982 in the publication 'RFC821.' The current widely used standards are still essentially the same. Although many changes have been proposed to enhance security, the difficulties of implementing new standards universally have stopped changes from catching on.
Function
SMTP is the standard used to send emails from email clients on personal computers. It is commonly used in conjunction with POP or IMAP servers, which recieve mail. Most email clients, including Outlook, Entourage and Thunderbird, allow the use of SMTP.
Features
By default, SMTP uses plain ASCII text to communicate with a mail server on Port 25. SMTP servers can use secure-sockets layer connections for additional security. Some SMTP servers also require authentication with a user name and password.
Expert Insight
The lack of restrictions required for SMTP connections makes it possible to create emails with false information through a DOS command prompt. These can still be traced by authorities but can appear to come from incorrect sources. This is one reason spam emails are so prevalent.
Warning
Some Internet service providers block Port 25 to prevent spam and only allow their own SMTP servers to be used on their networks. In such cases, SMTP servers using other ports may still work, or the provider may allow the port to be opened upon request.
