Getting your domain name with a secured SSL certificate.

ISSUE: WordPress Website Running Slow after Getting a Domain Name SSL Certificate

After setting up my domain name with a SSL certificate with my web host, JustHost, the site took a significant hit in loading performance. I thought that the SSL certificate to my domain name broke my website! It was taking 2-3 MINUTES (which felt like FOREVER) to load. Prior to doing this, the site was loading fairly quickly. Google says they are now requiring “https” and secured domain names. So what happened?

SOLUTION: Not the Web Hosts’ Fault, It was the WordPress Theme.

2019 Color of the Year, Living Coral, PANTONE 16-1546

Our awesome resource at Pantone declared the 2019 Color of the Year (reference link) to be “Living Coral”. PANTONE 16-1546.

We’re excited, and curious, about this and color combinations presented by Pantone. How will we be seeing this color used in he media this year? Will you be incorporating, say the “Under the Sea” color harmonies and if so how?

Let us know your thoughts and how you’d like to see it utilized this year.

I picked up a great book by Seth Godin, “This Is Marketing” (Seth Godin blog). There have been incredibly profound snippets where after reading passages, I end up thinking long about it, marking up my book with tons of notes. A MUST READ!

UPDATED: Ever thought about how to get your website name on GoDaddy? What is a “domain name?” A website name is the link and is used to showcase your business or a personal blog. Your website name is also known as a “domain name”. Examples of domain names are “thatsgravydesigns.com” and “justtasteitsandiego.com“. It’s important, regardless of your business, to refer other’s to on the Internet.

Where to buy your domain name?

It’s required that your domain name be registered. I’ve used a few places to get domain names and to keep it simple for you, GoDaddy is a very easy and low cost. GoDaddy allows you to get domain.com, domain.me, domain.net, domain.life, and many others. You need to register and create a log in with GoDaddy. Then search to see if your desired website name is available. Click here to open up GoDaddy. You can get as many domain names as you desire.

How much does it cost?

Registering and buying your domain name are actually two different things. We can only register a domain name, and that it will need to be renewed yearly. If you miss the date to renew, that allows for someone else to pick it up and get it.
