What is site mapping? If i buy a domain and transfer it to wordpress, will i also have to buy a hositng account?
1. Site mapping is a script or text file that shows search engine "bots" what's on your site or what they can expect when they "crawl" your site. I think you might be a bit confused about how the domains, sites and hosting works... A domain name is simply an address where your website will live. Hosting is essentially a computer or a set of computers (servers) where you keep your website files and it also tells the rest of the internet where to go when someone is looking for your domain. Wordpress is the software (Content Management System) that makes it easier to operate and change your site around. Hopefully this helps...
Thnx 4under! So that means i have to buy a domain, hosting and site mapping to launch my site from wordpress platform. Does transferring the domain to wordpress effects its SEO? Â
You can actually by the hosting and domain in the same place... I ran across a coupon in a pdf I was reading last night for Host Gator that would give you your first month for 1 cent. Coupon: "1centhostaccount" Also... They will set up Wordpress for you for free. Your site map can be done for free using a Wordpress plugin. Let me know if I can help you with this...
