    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>
    <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://porkbun.com">https://porkbun.com</a><br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://domains.google">https://domains.google</a> <br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://namecheap.com">https://namecheap.com</a><br>
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://hover.com">https://hover.com</a> <br>
    <br>
    Here's a nice chart of .com prices for some registrars.<br>

    <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>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>
