Domain name
- See
- While you can use the free subdomain names like those provided by
GitHub or Netlify, it may be a better idea to own a domain name of
your own. The cost of an apex domain is minimal (typically the
yearly cost is about US$10), and you will enter a much richer world
after you purchase a domain name. For example, you are free to point
your domain to any web servers, you can create as many subdomain
names as you want, and you can even set up your own email accounts
using the domain or subdomains. In this appendix, we will explain
some basic concepts of domain names, and mention a few (free)
services to help you configure your domain name.
