Buying a Domain
For a blog we need a domain name and a place where the blog will be hosted
A domain name is the adress like www.myblog.com. We need to buy and register a domain with a domain registrar.
A host will rent out space on a server to to store the files and data for the blog. We will use Cloudflare as host for the blog. See the next part.
