1
00:00:00,580 --> 00:00:03,850
So let's just look at the basic steps on how to host that domain name.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,500
Now, first you've got to look for it.

3
00:00:05,590 --> 00:00:09,670
And that's a pain because everything you're going to like, everything you're going to want is probably

4
00:00:09,670 --> 00:00:10,030
taken.

5
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:11,860
So you got to get real creative sometimes.

6
00:00:12,550 --> 00:00:16,540
So if you don't have a domain name already, pick a registrar.

7
00:00:16,570 --> 00:00:19,630
Again, the two big ones are Go Daddy and Network Solutions.

8
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,980
I'm not here to sell them on any level.

9
00:00:22,990 --> 00:00:27,190
I'm just here to say those are the companies that are here to say, and you're less likely to have your

10
00:00:27,190 --> 00:00:29,890
domain name sold to someone that you're going to have to chase.

11
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,970
So whoever you pick, take that information.

12
00:00:34,150 --> 00:00:40,600
Log on to your brand new Office 365 account, make sure you're an administrative contac.

13
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,870
There is a menu option called domains.

14
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:44,710
Give it a click.

15
00:00:45,090 --> 00:00:49,630
There's a button to add a domain, and then it just walks you through all the steps.

16
00:00:49,660 --> 00:00:51,520
Step one, step two, step three.

17
00:00:52,030 --> 00:00:56,410
What's kind of cool is sometimes it will look up on the Internet and it'll figure out that let's say

18
00:00:56,410 --> 00:00:58,630
you're at Network Solutions and go Daddy.

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,710
It'll recognize that it'll pop up a window and allow you to log on to validate that you own that domain.

20
00:01:05,770 --> 00:01:07,540
And then it actually populates it for you.

21
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:13,570
If you use someone who's not in some of the the bigger games like Network Solutions and go Daddy, then

22
00:01:14,190 --> 00:01:18,940
it'll give you a whole list of DNS entries and you're going to have to go to that registrar and populate

23
00:01:18,940 --> 00:01:19,180
them.

24
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:23,080
So follow the steps carefully populate DNS.

25
00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:30,060
And again, they're going to take all of those settings and 365.
