Startup Phase ~ Registering Business name and organizing team

[Nathan Moreno]

Here's my situation:

I have an idea for a website which as far as I can tell is going to be a big project. I'm in the process of teaching myself programming through codeacademy and taking college courses but I'm afraid I won't be able to launch as nearly as fast as I'd like.

What I've done so far:
~I bought a domain name and hosting.
--I have a hyphen in between the two words because the same domain without a hyphen was already registered and way out of my budget. I do plan on acquiring this domain name later though.

I have NOT registered any business name in any state though.
--I have plans to register a business name through a registered agent in Wyoming, under a c-corp
My reasons for picking a c-corp were to offer stock options to prospective employees as an incentive to work (as I really don't have that much cash)

I'm in the process of organizing a team:
--I haven't talked to anyone yet, but I have all the necessary legal documents to protect myself, that being: non-disclosure forms, non-competes, and confidentiality agreements.

Am I registering my business too early? Is this how a typical startup goes? This is my first startup so I just want to make sure all my i's are dotted, all the t's crossed. I have $3,000 startup capital and I'm pretty much bootsrapping this whole thing.

Also, as far as registering in a foreign state, I read about setting up a business bank account in that same state as well but I'm a bit confused by it. Will I still get taxed in California regardless?

Any advice not directly related to my question in hand is very welcome.

Major thanks in advance!
