From "I have an idea" to a live site with your domain, email, and hosting — here's everything you need, laid out step by step.
Your domain is your address on the internet — yourbusiness.com. Check if the name you're thinking of is available right now.
Type the name you want (without .com) and hit Search. We'll open Namecheap so you can grab it if it's available.
// Searches via Namecheap · Typical .com domains start at $10–$14/yr · You own it; we just help you find it.
Aim for under 15 characters. Avoid hyphens and numbers. Say it out loud — if you have to spell it out every time, it's too complicated.
People default to .com when guessing a web address. If your .com is taken, try .co or .us before going to unusual extensions — unless you're a tech startup (.io, .ai).
Add your city: "acmeplumbingkc.com". Add a descriptor: "getacmeplumbing.com". Or come back to us — we'll brainstorm with you.
Hosting is where your website actually lives — the server that delivers your pages to visitors. We manage GoDaddy hosting for all our clients so you never have to think about it.
Hosting is separate from your domain. You'll pay for both — but your domain is ~$12/yr and hosting is monthly. We handle setup, SSL certificates, and ongoing maintenance.
See Full Hosting Plans →nothing@gmail.com doesn't cut it. Your email should match your domain — you@yourbusiness.com. It takes 15 minutes to set up and makes you look like you mean business.
$6/user/month. You get Gmail at your domain + Google Drive, Docs, Meet, and Calendar. It's the same inbox you already know how to use — just with your brand on it. Microsoft 365 is the right call if you're Windows-heavy or already in the Microsoft ecosystem.
