Hi Christine,<br>
<br>
Yes, to have a website you need web hosting and a domain name, which
you can get separately or a lot of companies offer both. There are
lots of registrars, some good ones include <br>

Here's a nice chart of .com prices for some registrars.<br>

I don't recommend GoDaddy, they are expensive and they nickel and
dime you, and I disapprove of their tactic of saying "Starting at"
and quoting a low price without letting you know that the next year
it's going to jump up by a lot. Very slimy. The one benefit is that
they have basic domain protection (whois protection) to keep your
information private, but a lot of companies are offering that now. <br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello Hidden Tech Listserv Members,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I may be interested in launching a website and the domain
name is available. Would you please advise on the best site to
access for purchasing the domain name? Or, perhaps it isn't
necessary to purchase the name and it can be launched without
purchasing. As you can see, I only know a tad about domain
name purchasing. I would appreciate recommendations and/or
pointing me to a good article on this topic. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you!</div>
