A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Need to register a domain for business and get a simple website up and running in the USA - tips? (self.asklemmy)

Other than "dont' use Godaddy", what do I need to know? I've never owned a domain or had a website of my own before.

Domain registration/host recommendations?
Web hosting recommendations? Should I mix #1 and #2?
Website template creation suggestions? Have fairly simple needs like service offerings and contact forms but want something without rotating construction cones.
What else should I consider? Security? e-mail?
Am open to all-in-one for the above, just would like to understand tradeoffs, what to look for/avoid.

TIA

              porkbun. Real solid and no-nonsense. If privacy is your main concern, maybe check out njal.la.
Depends. If what you said is all that you need you don't really need a web hosting service. Static site sounds to be enough.
Cloudflare Pages + something like Hugo(highly recommend, if you are comfortable with using command line tools) will be basically free and solid.
Depends. Ask freely here!
