There are many other use cases for domain names such as for marketing, brand protection, and global expansion, but the common end goal is a website. Determining the purpose of your website before you begin your project will help you avoid the common mistake of choosing the wrong hosting platform for your needs. WordPress is the most popular hosting application for creating websites for many reasons including the WordPress toolkit. If you need one-on-one coaching when setting up your site, we recommend looking at Codementor’s WordPress Mentors. You can view our previous experience with Codementor here.
