There is nothing more exciting when you find Joomla for yourself. You are trying to play around, change default Joomla's configuration and layout to fit yours. After successful design template applying you are almost a Pro of web creators.

But sometimes you have to know what other people do, what are the best practices. And you can learn or ajust it again - to fit your needs.

So let's get back to the standard procedure what you need to get your web up, but with the slogan:

Let's install Joomla fast!

1. Did you buy your new domain? Do you have full domain control over it? I suggest you to buy one if you don't have it at GoDaddy.com.

2. Do you have a relieable hosting company? Remember about your website target audience, location, website load. Do not [I mean do not] save on hosting. It is much more difficult to move live site to another hosting company, than pay a bit more and have good service at once.
