I spent the past week researching and writing another eBook on health (”Sinus Sufferers Solution”). After selecting keywords, I sought a domain name to represent them. Then I registered my first choice domain name at godaddy.com, set the name servers to my HostGator.com account, and put up a simple test file to tell me when my new site became active.
Nothing news worthy in that.
What surprised me was the fact that my test file was readable as soon as I entered the new domain name in my browser. It took me under 20 minutes to find that my domain name was available and to register it. Possibly as much as 10 minutes covered my login to the control panel at my server, adding the domain with the choice of path on my account. It took me several minutes to create and upload the dummy index.htm file, and to open the new site in my browser. All of this could have been done in less time.
I am used to a delay of several to many hours for a new domain to become active. Probably it has not yet propagated throughout the internet, but I can already browse and test my additions.
Just more reason to wish I had moved to HostGator.com a long time ago.
So far there is only the test file at http://sinussufferers.com/, but I will be working on it.
