What do I need to build a website?

- Domain name – A domain name is your website’s address on the internet just like mysite.ng. This is what your users will type in their web browsers to reach your site. For example, if you are starting with a free website using mysite.ng local domain, your website name could be yourname.mysite.ng or yournickname.mysite.ng or yourbusinessname.mysite.ng. Depending on the brand name you choose and what you are using the website for. It could be blog like health.mysite.ng and so on.
You can as well have your own domain name premium later after setting up your FREE website like yourname.com or yourbusinessname.com. - Hosting – This is a server where your website files are stored and hosted.
