Also,check for their disounts, I managed to buy domain for 2$ few times. https://www.godaddy.com/ Beside that, you have https://www.namecheap.com/domains/registration/results.aspx?domain=findmyme and many others...

2,059 Pointsyou just need to buy your domain, it is around 10$/year. Once you decided to create website then buy some hosting. It is the best way to secure your domain
