If you are searching how to register a domain name, then follow these points:

1. Search on Google “Register Domain”

In the above image, the domain name is available with .com extension. If you think you can register a domain in $2.99. Then you are thinking wrong because your first-year domain charges will transfer to another year. You will register a domain and renew every year/ 3 years/ 5 years etc. You can’t register a domain for a lifetime. If you do not register a domain next year then your domain will expire and some other user will buy your domain through domain registration website.

While registers a domain you will see premium domains. Premium domains are too costly. These domains are already bought by other users. If you want to buy the premium domain then you have to pay a high amount of money.

7. Website Builder & Web Hosting

The first option is the Website Builder. It means you create your website with the help of GoDaddy, and it will charge cost.

So, hosting is mandatory for all websites/blogs. Without hosting you can’t run a website. Hosting is paid. There are unlimited hosting options available on Google and every website charge amount.
