Instructions

      Decide on a domain name for your personal trainer website. Unless you are starting a gym you will probably just want to use your name with something like "fitness" attached to your name to make your website specific to your niche.

      Register your domain name. In order to get the rights to use a domain name you will need to register the name with a company like GoDaddy. GoDaddy will make sure the name is available and sell it to you for a reasonable price so that no one else can legally use that name.

      Purchase web hosting. In order to put your website on the Internet you will need a web hosting service. You can purchase a business website hosting account with Host Monster or Yahoo for a reasonable price. Web hosting packages include tools to build and advertise your site.
