What is a domain you ask? A domain name is your website’s main URL that can be typed into a browser, in order to visit your website. In other words, if your website was a house, your domain name is the address to your house. 

You can purchase a domain name easily (as long as it’s available of course!) through domain registrars like Google Domains, GoDaddy, or NameCheap. Domain registrars are generally super cheap to purchase your domain, and renew them for a low annual fee. Depending on where you purchased your domain, domains can vary from $9-$15 per year.

Your website’s hosting is where your website lives on the internet. Depending on how big or small your website is, keep in mind what hosting plans work best for your website. There are so many hosting providers, and not all are built the same. 

One tip for finding the best hosting provider for your website is to not go cheap! You get what you pay for. Hosting plans that are cheaper, tend to perform poorly and security isn’t the best. A high quality hosting provider can boost your website’s speed, which is super important for your SEO rankings, and security is top notch. Remember to choose your hosting provider wisely!
