Chris, this bread from tamper. I've been a big fan of the show, since I found it last year, I'm getting closer to lunch in my side hustle, but I'm wondering what is the best way to register domains. I found a domain I wanted and I to register it on, go daddy, but then I thought They should go somewhere else. If I register it with one company. Do I have to host my website? There is well what if I change my mind also, should I get the dot com and the dot org? I see there a bunch of other extent, since as well. I dont want to end up in a hundred fifty dollars a year for domain with a bunch of extensions, but I also don't want someone else to take them. What should I do thanks, and I look forward to your response? Abraham was out. Thank you so much worsening. Thank you to the question as well. I look forward to hearing.
Your site, us all and progress. Now, here's a pretty short easy answer and honestly doesn't matter too much in terms of registering your domain. The company you mentioned or any other web hosts for a dot com. It shouldn't costs more than fifteen dollars a year. Sometimes it can actually be less. Sometimes it could be ten dollars, eight dollars, twelve largest somewhere in that range in other domain extensions, sometimes cost a bit more I'm glad you asked about that is well my perspective as you dont need. Every extension went to it's impossible or it's gonna be extremely expensive doubt every extension. But even so those other ones, I think it's a project you're really invested in and you feel like you actually have a good domain for it, to brand that you have invented, and nobody has taken us before and it might be good to get. You know the dot work in addition to the dot com maybe the dot net, maybe something else, but really to worry about trying to give extension, because that is going to add up the main thing. Is it good? Dotcom goes a long way. So that's what I.
These days are not really try to capture every single extension speaking of paying more every year. Here's a tip for every one who, like me, will the prone your domains go through, whether it is go daddy or some other account and look at all the demands that you have registered because you're you are paying for them. You know once a year, even if it's just ten dollars adds up. So when I say you're dumb, and you know what I mean is if you want to register it, thing. You know that you thought was amazing, but they never do Anything with its probably ok to let it go right. It's probably to say you know what I am I haven't done anything, but this in seven years or whatever the case may be a problem. I can do anything with it down, so let it go. I will do that myself I'll try to lead by example. So, thanks again, Brad and listeners, if you ve got a question of your own, just come to satisfy school tat, come slice. Questions will be featuring them throughout the year, along with updates from listers, as they launch their projects even getting paid about my project as launch it
