Hey brother im so glad I found your video, I’m gonna watch all the videos regarding this. Question my bro, I plan to sell a digital software for forex trading. As with anything that has to do with stocks and forex, there is potential to lose money, is there a like disclaimer page are option I can add to my product through woocommerce? Like one of those checkboxes or forms that is like a “risk disclaimer ” before someone can purchase my product? Hope that makes sense
Glad you are liking them! There totally is. Below is a WooCommerce article that gets into product disclaimers in a bit of depth. Hope this helps, and thanks for checking out the series!

@HostGator Thank you for this brother, im literally gonna spend my weekend now binging this series and getting my website up. I was initially going to hire someone from fiver to build the website for me. But hopefully after the guidance from your videos i can handle this task myself.
appreciate the valuable content my bro!
You’ve got this! Keep at it, and remember, Google and YouTube are super helpful when getting started.
Hi, Thanks for the information you give us on this site. In fact, three months ago, I got to know (ezoic) and contacted them, and everything was done except for one point, which is placing the website ads code on my site (Change your name servers with your DNS provider). My question is, if possible, can you explain that? thank you
Hey there! We have a couple videos up on changing your Nameservers already. Give this video a try.

Hi, thanks for the tutorial, pls I want to creat a video website pls which plugins would you recommend like woocommerce
Is it free to open online store on woocommerce
Hi Bobi, there are different plugins and some offer free, some are free up to a certain point, and some plugins or its features or advanced features may have a fee. Each plugin is different, you can check the plugin details or contact that plugin’s support directly if you have questions.
@HostGator other than woocommerce, are there any plugins that I can use for online store? because when I click, I need to upgrade into business plan.
Your tutorials are the best I have found! They are so straightforward and easy to follow. THANKS!
You are very welcome Shelley, and glad they help!
HostGator is the best, thanks for the help!
Any time!
Thank you soooo much. This is really really helpful!

What version of Woocommerce is this? I have Version 6.8.1 and do not get see anything that’s shown from after the address
Hi Deborah! Everyone uses different versions of Woo Commerce. You have the initial install but the version may change based on the persons needs or related scripts as the website is designed.
So in this tutorial you had set up the web store by putting the host gator’s address. But you didn’t talk about this.
The normal joes like us using this, if their web site is being web hosted by host gator, are they doing that too? And will it let you leave the street section blank with only city in, and still have all transactions working? I don’t have a physical store. I don’t want someone looking up my address if I’m selling stuff out of my garage that are only downloads. Also there’s a worry that we may beholden to taxes in another state if we put down a store address for the web hosting service if its in another state,… I think? Right? And can customers look up and see your address if your address is in the ecommerce settings? (I don’t want this).
I hope you can come back to this and talk about it.
Hi Noah, that is a great question, due to each eCommerce having its own individual functions and features, it may or may not have the ability to leave certain fields blank. Or, it may require certain fields to be filled out during initial setup, and you might possibly have settings you can modify to change how certain pieces of information are displayed publicly. It all depends on the additional settings the eCommerce store (in this case WooCommerce) you are using. We recommend checking out WooCommerce Support Forums at https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/woocommerce/ or even reach out to woocommerce.com directly for more details.
Thank you very much.
How do I control what the name of the charge, store will be when it shows up on someone’s bank charge? I don’t want my personal name to show up there.
Hi Noah, you would need to contact your merchant who is processing your payments the method and how-to update transaction statements from ‘you personal name’ to ‘your business name’.
I own my domain thru godaddy and I started hist gator and I’m stuck. The sites not showing nothing but go daddy.
