I have someone implementing a few things on my website so he heeds to have the details of my server/webhosting

I would just make them a separate user for security reasons instead of giving out your personal information.

both responses below are correct.

dont know.maybe ask support

you are better off adding them as another user on your site rather than giving away your admin or main password.
this way once they have finished you can delete that user and keep your site secure.
so go into your site dashboard and add another user as an administrator - log out and find the details uinder sitemanager.
if they really need ftp access then these details are under details.
remember this is your business - make sure you keep it yours.

So I recently got what I thought was a cool name but I dont know what to do with it. I have lots of Ideas but I'm not sure if I'm able so here it is let me know what you think

Okay got thanks for all your help cheers

many of us have found what we thought was the holy grail of keywords with high traffic and low QSR only to find it was fools gold. those numbers don't always tell the real story. sorry to burst your balloon.

You should be very confused, it seems to me.It's a good idea to first decide what your site will be about, then look for a domain name.Let's say you love cooking and you build your site around it. Then you check something like "bestcakesever.com".
If you want to teach people how to buy from Amazon, or to affiliate with Amazon, then you can somehow play with your idea. But first check with Amazon if you can use their name in the way you want it. Maybe not, like many people pointed out here.
And just a side note- people will not be looking for your domain name in the net, but for your articles and product reviews.
Good luck to you!:)

You don't want to infringe on Amazon or be on their bad side. It has over 2 million viewers because it has Amazon on it. The only way I know you can leverage on it is go with their affiliate.

Oh okay, thanks! Still confused a tad so you mean just to sell they're stuff on it as an affiliate which would be totally cool if I could do that but if not would they buy it from me? Or would I end up with a dead domain? Thanks in advance I'm going to check that out right now too just to see what I can pull up on the whole subject.

If you use a big company like Amazon in your domain name they will sue you. Even if you're an associate-amazon, that's their affiliate or have other affiliates.

For example I love Louis Vuitton bags (I don't just an example) and I want to sell it, I would create a domain name call imsellinghighendpurses dot com. I would not put LV or Louis Vuitton in my domain dot com.

However, once you have your domain you can promote LV in your website all you want.

Once you have the right keyword your domain would not be dead because it's a name they love and trust.

I hope this help.

That name is very close to "Amazon" That could be a problem as Triblu has pointed out. I would definitely research it BEFORE you go with it!

Hey Nikki,

You might want to be very careful using such a domain name.

Google searching "can I use other businesses names in my domain name" (without the quotation marks, of course) brought forth some posts you may want to read over... before you actually try using that domain name.

Hope this helps you.

Amazon is a brand name and I would suggest to check further if that infringing the trade mark guidelines of using 'amazon' for your website (business).

:)
Joe

Would it be good to sell the domain name?

Having the word 'amazon' in a domain name will get you in trouble with Amazon for a trademark violation - that name is worthless.

okay thankyou then i will just forget i ever bought that domain then. I dont want to get in trouble.

It's your business online Nikki!

A feel the domain name is what sums up everything about you as well as your site. I'm trying to be unique and positive..hope it does the job. Good luck on your endeavors.
Nancy :)

I don't quite understand what you mean can you elaborate a bit more, please.

I'm not sure if i can put another link from somewhere else in my url area that has my affiliate link on it. I'm trying to add info on a picture that im adding to a post i wrote

Hi Nikki
Maybe this training might help put things in the right order: Best Alan

Thankyou will do, it is a big help!

Nikki, click below and follow instructions

Thank you very much I appreciate all the help.

Great information and clarification of a problem many of us overlook.

Your url should just be that and nothing else or the link won't even work. Your title is what your post is about and that would be the text in the title box. The description is just what your post is about and if you're talking about the All in One SEO description box then just don't worry about that as I myself don't even fill that out. Google will take parts of your post (usually the first paragraph) and that will be used as your description.

clear. concise. thanks.

Do I need a program for it?

Hi, I use a Snag it, with this I take a screenshot and I screen recorder to creating GIFs.

Raul

Thankyou very much I will try that! Cheers

Depends on your device I think?

I just bought an ASUS with Windows 10 and it is simply strike Windows key with print screen key simultaneously! It’s excellent.

Google your device for instructions.

Wayne

Okay, I will definitely look that up and thankyou very much! Cheers and have a great day.

On a windows computer, I use Monosnap. It was recommended by a fellow WAer to me years ago. I have been using it ever since.

Yes it is a windows and I will look that up sounds like a good one to use. Cheers

For chromebook - do a control and hit the key above the #6.

Clipular works great.

Randy

If you're on a mac you do an easy Shift+cmd+4. You could also try Monosnap - https://monosnap.com/welcome

All the best,

Brian

On my Mac: Hold down shift +command and hit '4'. You will get an indicator with which you can outline all or part of the screen and when you let it go you will hear a'camera click' and your screenshot will be on your desktop. Very useful tool

Depends on your operating system. Some are included on you system.
John

you can use the window key + PrtSc, your screen will fade a bit, and you can find it back in a folder in your images
But this is an awesome free program
