Step-by-Step: Set Up Your Domain and Email

Step 1: Purchase your domain

Go to GoDaddy or any domain registrar.

1. Sign up with your existing personal email
2. Search and purchase your domain
3. Don’t pay for unnecessary add-ons (like website builders)

💡 Recommendation:
Avoid using the domain provider’s email or website builder tools. They’re often restrictive, overpriced, and hard to migrate later.

💡 Better approach:
Use an external, modern email provider like Zoho for email—and tools like Lovable or Vercel to build your actual site.

Step 2: Set up your free business email

Use Zoho Mail Free Tier

1. Sign up with Zoho
2. Follow steps to verify your domain
3. Create an email like firstName.lastName@yourdomain.com for use with forms, outreach, and communication

💡 Why Zoho?
It’s reliable, developer-friendly, and gives you professional email hosting for free.
