Hi, Firstly you will have to go to a domain registrar and buy your chosen domain name. You can buy them through VH or do a search in google 'buy a domain name'.

.. or if you have a domain and its pointing to VH servers and you are building your home page in BV, then save this page as index and publish.

Hi TigerT,
Click here to learn more and how to register a doamin and hosting with VodaHost.
If you rather want to register a .co.za domain, click here. You can then still host the web site with VodaHost.

Hi thanx Darren

Just to give you a bit of info on what I'm trying to do.

I just got BV today and I'm still playing around but I'm trying to create a web page on endometriosis. I have a big support group on Facebook but a lot of members has asked me how can they join the group without joining Facebook so I decided to create a web page for the group so that the members can join and post blogs pic's ect on the site like they would have on a facebook group.

So I will be posting alot of questions in the future. Its quiet different from coding in HTML and so on because I've created the web page in DHTML but ya.

Thanx for your help
Have a nice day

Hi Tom

Thanx I will look into the future reading, as i just explained to Darren what my plans are i would like to leave it as a .com domain. Just one quick question if i understand correctley your first domain is free and you don't need to buy it if you register it through BV?.

Thanx Chris

Go well Chris. See you later, I'm sure...

Tiger_Tank · #16 05-24-2008, 08:52 PM

I'm a bit confused now lol, when i click on the post above your previous post it goes to a link that says something about billing options?

Tom vR · #17 05-24-2008, 08:58 PM

Yes Chris,
You can pay monthly, anually or for three years in advance. This is NOT for the domain. This is for hosting your website on VodaHost's servers.
Monthly Billing Setup fee + Per Month
Annual Billing Free Setup + every 12 months - works out cheaper.
Tri - Annual Billing Free Setup +every 36 months - works out even cheaper.

Hope this helps.

Also read the info given in the links I gave you in my first post above.
