Tips for starting a new website

[netshet]

I'm not fully up to date on this, but I don't think you'll get it indexed without content.

Would you want people to see the site before it's finished? If not, then you don't want it indexed, you don't want it on line, so there's no point registering the domain name (unless you have selected a name and want to ensure nobody else snaps it up).

I've usually done the opposite, wasted money registering a name and hosting a non-existent or worthless site. Come to think of it, I'm doing that right now Sad
