My MySpace used to Suck!
So you want a cool MySpace adddress huh?
Ready to start telling your friends that your website address is something like coolmyspacedude.com? Tired of using www.myspace.com/12398123?



Here's what you need to do:
  1. Find a great webhost, like WebQualityHost.net
  2. Sign up for their lowest package.
  3. Register a new domain name (that's the URL that you want people to go to, like SarahSmith.com)
  4. Ask your Web Hosting Company to forward your new domain name to your current MySpace page.
  5. Ask your Web Hosting Company to forward your new email to your current email address.
That's it! You're done! Now take your cool new address and send visitors to your myspace site. What could be easier?
FAQ
What's a Domain Name?
The "address" or URL of a particular Web site. This is also how you describe the name that is at the right of the @ sign in an Internet address. For example, customizemyspace.net is the domain name of this site.

What's a Web Host?
A company that uses a web server to provide storage space for many web sites. A good hosting company allows you unlimited access to your web site files and has their server online (up and running) 99% of the time. Check out WebQualityHost.net.

What is a reasonable amount to pay for Web Hosting?
Web Hosting prices range from $1.99 per month to over $50.00 per month. The differences in price relate to the different services offered. What you want to see in a good host is:
  • A Toll-Free phone number. So that you know you can reach them for free help when it's needed.
  • Unlimited access to your website files.
  • There server should be online 99% of the time
  • A way to manage your own site (which means you should be able to add and remove email addresses and upload and remove files whenever you want to).
  • Money-back guarentee! You should be able to get your money back if you are not satisfied with the Web Hosting service

The good Web Hosts seem to cost at least $6.99 per month. If you are paying less than that, then take a close look to see what services are being dropped - and if that is acceptable for you.
