You’ve decided you want to start a website. Great! Where do you begin? If you’re a total beginner, we recommend using Squarespace. It’s an all-in-one platform that lets you create a beautiful website without having to learn coding. And it’s very affordable, starting at just $12/month.
One of the first things you need to do when setting up a website is choose a domain name. This is the address people will type into their browser to find your site (for example, www.example.com).
You can buy a domain name through Squarespace or through a third-party provider like Google Domains or Hover.
If you buy your domain through Squarespace, we automatically configure it for you. But if you bought your domain elsewhere, you need to add it to Squarespace. This process is called connecting or mapping your domain.
