I wanted to learn about how to register the website or the domain name so this course is very good and simply explain how to registered the domain names and hosting now my confusion is clear :)

By Oladele Christian on 7/5/2024

I learnt more than I thought I would from this course and I am grateful for that. If I were to complain about anything, it would be that I didn't quite fully enjoy the voice cover, it was a bit boring to me at some point. But all in all, great course.

By Quazi Reaz on 1/20/2021

The instructor has very good knowledge and set the content of the course for all level of learners. I absolutely liked the pace of this course and his way of teaching and speaking. I would recommend this instructor to anyone who is interested. Thank you!

By Ariel Nakandakare on 12/23/2020

Ofrece lo que promete, pero podría ser un poco más dinámico y menos monótono. Hubo partes en los que me costó seguir la clase durante la sección 2 pero, aparte de eso, no tuve otro inconveniente.

By Snazzy Sensei on 8/16/2020

It not only explains how domain names and stuff works, but also shows you how to register your domain name step by step on GoDaddy so simply that even a 10 year old could follow along. Even gave a quick overview of different types of hosting and introduced the Cloud all in simple easy-follow-along words.

By Peter Sidlar on 8/6/2020

Really good course for a basic understanding of how domains and hostings work. Explanations are clear and simple. Minus - It is speaking just about GoDaddy web but ... it is good for me I want to use their service for starting my page. I`m glad to watch the course. Thanks, YouAccel Training!

By Favour onemu on 7/8/2020

Before now, I was fairly familiar with domain name registration and website hosting process. but this course has made it clearer, exposing to me better ways to go about it and for my privacy and the security of my website. Also, I now understand the concept of cloud hosting and how it differs from the regular traditional hosting service. i am very grateful for this course because I am working on my startup e-commerce website. Now i know how to go about what I really want (A cloud hosting). Once again, a big thanks to the instructor and to Udemy. God Bless kind Regards Favour Onemu

From not knowing anything to know tons of things is pure gold :)))...... thanks for sharing this course and loving your gentle voice.......in future i think i will watch this againn soon to brush up the info again

By Luca Toni on 5/3/2020

Too much sponsorization of a specific registrar (GoDaddy), some little technical mistakes or imprecision, for base-level it's a correct course but too much godaddy-oriented, it seems to be sponsored

By Rana Singh on 8/9/2019

I liked the concept being taught about the internal complexities of getting a domain name and services related to it. Very useful information to have under your belt considering the great reach internet has.
