First step would be to sign up for Cloudflare and use that for DNS management.
If you're gonna make a website for it, just keep it simple and make a flat-file HTML/CSS site. You can host it for free on Netlify.
You can use Zoho for free mail hosting
Also, if you bought the domain from GoDaddy or one of their subsidiary companies, transfer it away to Cloudflare, Porkbun, or Namecheap.
Avoid buying any hosting from any EIG owned company.
I know there was a controversy, but what happened exactly with GoDaddy?
They just are scummy as fuck. Tricking users into buying things they don't need and shouldn't use, dark patterns everywhere, slowly increasing prices to squeeze more money out of people. They also make it so you can't use a free SSL cert and have to pay for theirs.
