Consider this extension when searching for your website brand names , or choose from an entire list of active domain extensions that can be found
here .
Once you have a few brand name possibilities selected , go to a domain name registrar such as Register . com or GoDaddy . com ( there are many mroe ) and search for available website names . Just because a website name does not appear in Google search does not always mean the name is available to be purchased for your use ; the name may be reserved ( paid ) by another person and just not set up yet as a website .
SELECTING A WEBSITE HOSTING SERVICE
GoDaddy . com mentioned above . Purchasing your unique website name from a domain registrar will incur an annual fee of anywhere from $ 10 to $ 50 , depending on if you choose to make your contact information private ( I usually do not ), and whether you set up a unique email address using your website name , such as tristina @ DietzArt . com .
Instead of buying a website name from a domain registrar company , I believe you may have an easier time setting up a new website seamlessly if the domain name ( website address name ) and website set up are done at the same time with a website builder hosting company , such as Weebly or SquareSpace , who provide beautiful and easy templates for customizing ; a service for which you may be billed an annual fee of $ 35 to $ 60 .
The domain registrar companies also offer website hosting services and website builder templates , however , I have had better results with the hosting companies named here . Building your own hosted website may be best done by those who answered questions earlier with , “ I know something about computers and don ’ t mind spending some time learning a simple website builder .”
