Now that you’ve understood what a domain is, find out how and where to get a domain for your website.
Getting a domain
Getting a domain is bit like buying property. Just as a real estate broker finds a place that matches your needs and then handles the legal work to make it yours, a domain registrar does something similar for domains.

How to get a domain for free
The next step in building your website is getting a hosting plan. This is like a space you rent to build your website on. We’ll talk more about this later.

So, you might want to hold off buying your chosen domain until you’ve considered where to get your hosting plan.
Pro Tip
Most domain hosting providers offer a free domain when you subscribe to a hosting plan with them.
