Cost: Domain registration typically costs a yearly fee, ranging from around $10 to $30 depending on the provider and domain extension.

Web Hosting:
What it is: The service that provides the server space where your website's files (WP, HTML, CSS, images, etc.) are stored.
Function: It allows your website to be accessible to users on the internet.
Analogy: Think of it as the house where your website's files reside.

Come up with a great domain name? Found out that it’s taken? Yes, us too! There are LOTS of domain names out there with plenty of ways to find one that will work for your business.

Here are some tips:

1. Make a slight change: If the exact domain you want is not available a similar name might be.

2. Use a different or NEW domain ending: If the domain name you want isn't available as a .com try a different ending. The most common ending or TLD (top-level domain) is .com, but there hundreds of TLDs, ranging from .io to .attorney to .artist. Find one that's relevant to you.

3. Switch and Adjust: Play around and see if there are any adjustments you can make that will change your name ever so slightly. If you are an established brand or business name try building onto the name or brand.

4. KISS: Keep It Super Simple. A good domain name should be simple. Do Not complicate your name to find one that’s available. Avoid hyphens, numbers, ampersands, strange spellings, names that are hard to spell or remember. Need Help! We are GREAT at coming up with Alternatives.
