Which website builder is the easiest and has all of the bells and whistles, Go Daddy ?

They're all pretty simple with options to have AI generate stuff based off your inputs. Most common approach is a Wordpress site that you can customize via add-ons (free and purchased). I currently have Hostinger platform that I use for my websites as well as service offering to clients.

Do your price shopping with end of year specials. Noting that you get your best pricing on domain registration and hosting at initial purchase, best to signup for as many years as you're comfortable with. Dont be short-sighted and do just a year.

of course, no problem...good luck, post any other questions as you progress through this

Thank you LeastBay.

What type of business? If service let me know.

Another thing to put on your "comparison list" i would recommend which hosting providers have included business email. And with that I'd want to know how many mailboxes you can have, how much storage per mailbox, how many aliases, how many forwarders. Most will always have an option to upsell M365 or Google Workspace, but for 4+yrs i was fine with the "free" tier from Hostinger for my business needs (im only employee). Unless you have other business needs and will be getting M365/Google then disregard, but i did my business creation for all of ~$400 with business establishment/license, website/hosting, and business cards....

It's also usually common that you get free SSL cert(s) for your website.

tl;dr dont be a jackleg and use personal gmail/outlook as "business@gmail/outlook) as your business email...

Thank y'all so much, I appreciate it.
