Buying domains

Hiya Courtney

There are loads of different providers you can buy your domain from - and they all come with different management dashboards etc. I use Go Daddy at the moment for my blog, but have used others in the past.

Cost varies wildly depending on the popularity of your domain name - and the value the provider places upon it. So you could pay anywhere from £7 to £14 a year really - but that also varies on whether you want .com or .co.uk etc etc!

It doesn't affect the way you edit your blog if you use Blogger. The only settings you need to alter are on one page, and blogger has a walkthrough help topic (it's really simple, promise!).

People could still access your blog via the blog spot address also, if your domain hoster ever had issues (can happen).

Trying to think if anything else is useful... Depending on provider and cost, you can also get email addresses and webmail, security/business certification - all sorts really.

Good luck!
