This is the complete walkthrough — what to buy, what to skip, and how to set yourself up right the first time so you never have to deal with transferring domains or switching registrars later. Covering how to choose GoDaddy as your registrar and why (scalability, one account for everything, support that actually works), a tool called Instant Domain Search that makes finding available names fast, how to evaluate whether your domain name can actually rank and get found, and exactly what to click and skip when GoDaddy loads up your cart with upsells.

Walking through DNS records and what connecting a domain actually looks like once you own it, whether you're pointing it to Squarespace, Webflow, Framer, Lovable, or anything else. ⏱️ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - 300+ Businesses 0:43 - Why GoDaddy 2:58 - Domain Pricing 4:00 - Search Competition 7:05 - Instant Domain Search 9:45 - Buying in GoDaddy 10:28 - Privacy Protection 13:35 - Skip the Upsells 14:00 - Managing Domains 16:18 - DNS Records
