HEY EVERYONE! This keeps coming up for newcomers, so let’s clear it up once and for all. Every website needs two things: an address and hosting. Think of it like opening a physical business: - Hosting = the land/building (where your website actually lives) - Domain = the street address (how people find you) You technically don’t need a domain — you could just give people a long string of numbers (the server’s IP address) — but good luck getting customers to remember that! Domains turn those numbers into something easy to remember and type. WHAT'S A DOMAIN? A domain is a memorable combination of letters, numbers, and symbols you buy from a registrar. Example: buildaiwebsitestogether.com You can point it to our Skool page, a website you build yourself, or anywhere else. (Just an example — I don’t own that one!) WHAT'S HOSTING? Hosting is where your actual website files are stored. You’re basically renting space on a powerful computer (called a server) that stays online 24/7 and delivers your pages to visitors when they type in your domain. QUICK WARNING Some companies sell “domain + hosting” bundles. They’re convenient, but they’re also really good at upselling you things you don’t actually need. MY RECOMMENDATIONS For domains: Namecheap.com — best prices (many domains start at just $0.99) and excellent support. For hosting: ClicklessCMS.com — our community favorite. Only $17/month, you can host multiple sites, and you can have a live website in minutes (either build it on the platform or paste in content you generate with any AI). HOW TO CONNECT YOUR DOMAIN TO CLICKLESSCMS (DNS EXPLAINED SIMPLY) DNS stands for Domain Name System. Think of it as the internet’s phonebook. When someone types your domain name, DNS looks it up and tells their browser exactly which server (your hosting) to go to. To connect your domain to ClicklessCMS, you just need to add three simple DNS records at your domain registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.).
