You can get your business online for less than £10 by following these simple steps:

1. Register your domain name
   Whether your choose your trading name or a name based on your keywords, your first step is to check it’s available then BUY it!  Domain names start at around £3 per year and can be purchased from websites such as 123-reg or Heart Internet.  There are plenty of other domain name registration companies out there, but these are two that I’ve used personally and can therefore recommend.
2. Choose your hosting company
   This is the magical part - I’m going to tell you where to find web hosting for an incredibly low price! Pop along to M8 Internet and you’ll find they have packages starting from £1 per year.  I’m not affiliated with M8 but I am a happy customer of theirs, which is why I’m happy to recommend them.  You can also register your domain through M8 and it sometimes is easier to keep everything in one place but that’s your choice!  There are other hosting companies which offer similar packages to M8, but I haven’t found anyone else who offers such good value.
3. Set up your website in a few easy clicks
   Once M8 (or your chosen web host) have created your hosting package and your domain is fully set up (it can take anything from a few minutes to a couple of days for your domain registration to work its way around the internet!), you’ll be able to login to your website control panel.  Scroll down and you’ll see a section called “E-commerce” and below that “CGI Scripts” - these contain several powerful website packages which will give you e-commerce capabilities … and won’t cost you a penny, due do them being “open source”.  I won’t tell you which package to choose, but Zen Cart and OsCommerce are very popular.  All you need to do is click on your choice of package and follow the simple instructions to have your website up and running in minutes.
