Other than “dont’ use Godaddy”, what do I need to know? I’ve never owned a domain or had a website of my own before.

  1. Domain registration/host recommendations?
  2. Web hosting recommendations? Should I mix #1 and #2?
  3. Website template creation suggestions? Have fairly simple needs like service offerings and contact forms but want something without rotating construction cones.
  4. What else should I consider? Security? e-mail?
  5. Am open to all-in-one for the above, just would like to understand tradeoffs, what to look for/avoid.

TIA

    A lot of things, which is why you need to do your own research. Chatgpt can answer pretty much all your questions.

      I’m impressed that you found a way to give an answer less helpful than ‘just google it.’ Where do you think chatgpt (and google) get their knowledge?? Threads like this one.
