    Common mistakes people make when purchasing their domain:
    1. Buy your domain from your website builder or hosting provider (Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Bluehost, Host Gator, etc.)
    2. Don't pay attention to the renewal price for their domain
    3. Purchase somewhere that doesn't provide WhoisGuard for free.

  • @CinemaDemocratica
    @CinemaDemocratica ปีที่แล้ว

    Your video gave me much new information, one example of which I found especially edifying -- namely that some registrars cough up your whois contact information as soon as they're asked, whereas others have built-in safeguards to prevent this. The problem is that I'm finding it difficult to act on this guidance because it's not obvious to me how to determine where any given registrar falls on that continuum.
    For example, both Porkbun and Hostinger offer a radio-slider at checkout to activate whois privacy protection, and the cost is the same, but obviously neither of them are going to say on their own site, "We don't really mean it."
    Can you offer any further guidance?

    Just to be clear, if I buy a domain name on one of these sites, does that mean no other site can sell it for as long as I own it? Also, I can't find the links to your tutorials; I'm sure I'm looking in the wrong place.

    What I don´t understand is: The Domain is always for both Email and WebSite? Or you can buy them separately? Can buy Email Domain/Custom Adress without email and web hosting?

    • @TheFigCo
      @TheFigCo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Good question. Once you own the domain, you can use it for email and/or for your website. You can pay for an email provider like Google Workspace or a website builder such as Wix or hosting for a WordPress website all separately. If you purchase a domain somewhere like GoDaddy or a website builder such as Wix, you will pay more than the top options in this video. We recommend purchasing from PorkBun or Namecheap and then connecting it with your website and email.
