    If you sign up for a domain name with one of the registrar providers like Godaddy or Namecheap or any of the others, you can get one for no more than a dollar for a year. Then register for hosting, normally about $5-$10 a year and Wordpress is free.

    Then to get your site seen, go for paid advertising. Don't try to rank high in Google, it can be very costly, and if Google decides to change it's algorithm, you site could be blasted to page 10 or even further.

    You don't need any of that. You need a self-hosted Wordpress version which most of the shared hosting providers like Godaddy, Hostgator, and BlueHost do provide.

    You also have other options (if you are tech savvy) such as Cloudways (which in turn uses Digital Ocean or AWS) to host your Wordpress site.

    You can use analytics on any of those setups, as you like.

    I'm at a loss how or where you acquired this information. Wordpress programming is free; it costs nothing.

    Google Analytics has two pricing tiers: Free and Premium. Google Analytics Premium provides higher data limits, more custom variables, a Service Level Agreement, and a dedicated support team. Pricing starts at $150,000 / year.

    If you are going to split test things like where are you getting unique traffic, where are sales coming from, etc I would go with ClickMagic.

    Also know that if you want faster results with any affiliate program that you will promote, look into paid ads.

    Hey there!


    Just buy domain and hosting then get wordpress installed yourself for free!


    Then add a premium theme if your money allows but the free themes work well


    Don't pay to add google analytics


    just install a free plugin and then add the google code in there!


    Simple
