But if you've never worked with it, or are a bit intimidated by it, it can seem complicated and difficult. The good news is, it's easy to use once you get rolling with it -- and that's what today's tutorial is all about.

Domain Name: The first thing you'll need to do is register your website's domain name. I strongly recommend using NameCheap (https://www.tentononline.com/go/namecheap/). I've used 'em for years -- they're great.

If you'd like a more detailed look at how to register your domain name, I've gotcha covered in Easy Steps To Set Up Your Business Website Address Using NameCheap (https://tentononline.com/easy-steps-to-set-up-your-business-website-address/).

Web Hosting: Next, sign up for reliable, cost-effective, and secure web hosting. In this tutorial, I'm using Web Hosting Hub (https://www.tentononline.com/go/webhostinghub/) -- a great web host if you're just getting started. Alternatively, SiteGround (https://www.tentononline.com/go/siteground/) or InMotion (https://www.tentononline.com/go/inmotion/) are two other great web hosts.
