If you want your own spot on the internet, you need to buy and register a domain. To do this, go to a place that manages domain names, such as GoDaddy or Google Domains. Type in the name you want for your website, see if it’s available and how much it costs. If it fits your budget, go ahead and buy it.

Once you pick your domain name, you need to register it with a provider. which lets people access your site using the web address. This provider is like a middleman for ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the organization that manages the domain name system. Usually, you have to pay to get your website address.
