Below are all the website tools, sites, applications, etc. that I mention on the site.  I have grouped them in categories for your convenience.

Domain Name Registrars

1and1.com – A discount registrar with some really low prices that are hard to beat.  they also don’t charge to hide your private information like many of the others do.
GoDaddy – By far the biggest registrar for several years now, with competitive prices.  they do charge extra for privacy.
Network Solutions – This is the first and oldest domain name registrar, but expensive.
Register.com – Another one of the first registrars, with higher prices, but offers an low first-year price.
Namecheap – Another discount registrar that gives you a lower yearly price instead of just a cheap first year.  They also have good services for specialized domain name extensions or top level domains (TLDs) like .cooking, .press, .solutions, etc.  They don’t charge for privacy either.

All of these domain registrars also offer hosting.

Hosting

Bluehost – one of the biggest hosting companies and the one this site is hosted on.
HostGator – another one of the biggest hosting companies and the one I use for many of my first videos.
SiteGround – a very well rated hosting company with high marks for security.
Media Temple – another popular host that I have used with multiple clients.
DreamHost – has great prices for VPS hosting and offers a 100% uptime guarantee and a free domain.

Most of these hosting providers will also sell (or give away) a domain name when you sign up.

Content Management Systems

WordPress.org – This is where you can download the WordPress application (but you’ll usually install it from your host).  They also have a nice support forum.
WordPress.com – This is where you can get a free hosted WordPress site.  While I recommend having your own domain and host, this might be a good option to practice for free.
Blogger – Another option for a free hosted blog, owned by Google.
Tumblr – Another option for a free hosted blog, owned by Yahoo.
Typepad – A popular alternative with their own perks, and they have a free 2-week trial.

Themes/Design

Theme Canon – 6 high quality themes with lots of nice plugins and tools included.
WooThemes – Try over 50 specialized themes for your niche.
Elegant Themes – Try over 80 themes for one price and a money-back guarantee.
WordPress.org Themes – You can browse these from within WordPress, as seen in my video.

Plugins

Yoast Google Analytics – Pair this plugin with Google Analytics to track the visits to your site.
