So you’ve decided to read a bit more… great.

Your second decision in setting up an independent wordpress blog is to purchase a domain and find a hosting company that will allow you to run the wordpress application.  I’ll make it easy on you :-).  This domain is registered at godaddy.com and this website is hosted at hostgator.com.  The links below will take you to both sites, and yes, if you decide to purchase a domain or hosting, I make some money from it.  This is called affiliate marketing.  Are these the best? I don’t know, they work for me.

Domain Hosting - www.GoDaddy.com
Website Hosting - www.hostgator.com

There’s a lot of information out there about  picking the right domain name and it all depends on what you’re blogging about.  At the end of the day… pick one that works for you.  Ideally the domain name should be directly related to the content of the site.
