Before dealing with the entire aesthetic part of your page, the first thing is the domain or URL, that is, the address by which your website will be found on the internet.
There are some rules for this choice, first of all, it is important to remember that a good URL attracts people and offers credibility, so you must spend some time on this part. It should be short, simple, easy to decorate and write, and be directly related to your website.
After choosing, it is worth checking if it is available for use, this part is extremely intuitive and easy to understand.
Important tip: whenever possible, choose the option for your website to end in .com as it greatly increases your credibility.

After you have created your domain you need to know where it will go. In other words, each website needs a place to be hosted and where all information will be stored.
Numerous platforms offer this service, however you need to know which one to choose. The first to be analyzed is the costs, they are normally not very expensive at around 20 dollars per year, however, some platforms are much more expensive.
It is also important to pay attention to simplicity of use. I use Hostinger, it offers a good price and works well, however, it is a complex platform to use and requires some slightly more technical knowledge. It has the advantage of extremely effective service, something that has helped me several times.

In terms of security, it is necessary to remember that it is through your website that customers will provide various personal information such as name, address, contact, and sometimes banking information.
It is therefore extremely important to pay attention to this point and ensure that you have an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificate. Normally, the platform where you create your domain already comes with this certificate included, but it is always worth confirming it.
In addition, some plug-ins help to reinforce security, but this is a topic that we will develop in the future.
