-: In this section, we're going to go through the process
of purchasing a domain name that we're going
to eventually use for our HTTPS setup.
Now, as I said several times so far, you have
to have a domain name to go to the setup process.
There's many different websites
that you can purchase a domain name from
but we're going to be getting one from domains.google.com.
Which is Google's domain service.
If you choose to use a different domain registrar, do note
that we're gonna have to do some setup
on the domain registrar page.
And so if you use a different setup
or assuming a different provider such as Namecheap
or GoDaddy or whatever it might be,
the setup process is going to be different
and it's going to be on you,
to be honest, how to change the setup
because I don't really know how to do domain setup
or manipulation of records on say, GoDaddy.
So if you're not gonna use Google domain registrar,
kind of up to you to do a little bit of configuration.
All right, so let's get to it.
I'm going to go to domains.google.com
inside of a new browser tab.
Once here, you'll notice
that I personally have actually already purchased a domain
for use with our product, but I'm going to walk
through the process of purchasing a new one.
So I'll find the search domains tab here
on the left hand side.
And then we can search for any domain that you might want.
So it's totally up to you.
No requirements on the name or the TLD that it uses.
So we could do something
like, I don't know just total gibberish if you want
to pay like no money.
I mean, even these are 12 bucks a year.
If you want total gibberish.
But hey, it's totally up to you.
So you can pick out a domain name
that you want, you can then add it to your cart
and then go to your cart and check out.
So here's that domain right here.
Now, one thing to triple check,
you'll want to turn off auto renew.
Unless this is a domain that you want to hold onto.
Now, once you find your domain
and decide to purchase it, you can go to checkout
and purchase the domain.
After a little bit, you'll eventually see the domain appear
on your domain dashboard back at domains.google.com.
So for example, here's mine right here.
Now, once you purchase the domain, we are going to go
through just a tiny bit of setup.
The setup that I just mentioned a second ago.
So let's take a quick pause.
We'll come back to the next section,
and we're going to start to configure the domain
that you just purchased.
