Buy your own Domain at Great1.com while you create a new website, however here’s how to buy your own domain from other sources

  • Head over to Google Domains.
  • Search the name of your brand or the phrase you’d want your URL to possess.
  • Scroll through the different domain extensions — and if you get a “.com”, “.in”, “.net”, “.pro”, or “.org” for an affordable price, buy it ASAP.
  • Are all the decent domains heftily priced? Change the search keyword to something more unique. You can get a .com domain for under $12 a year!

Once you finalize your domain, add it to your cart, and checkout — for a recurring annual fee.

You can also unlock a professional email address  

 

But I don’t yet need a professional email address — plus, it costs 10x as much as the domain itself!

Now, there are two ways you can link your new domain with your website:

  • Add site forwarding to your new domain to redirect to your website. Navigate to Website → Edit Forwarding → Forward To →Enter the URL → Forward.
  • Edit your website and publish it to your new domain (requires a paid upgrade).

If you’re just starting, it’s 100% fine to stick to the “Great1.com” domain.

But as and when your brand or business scales, consider getting your own domain and email.
