Define your website's purpose: Is it for business, blogging, e-commerce, or a portfolio? Clarifying the goal will shape the design and features. Understand your audience: Who are you targeting? This will influence your design choices, content, and tone.

Choose a domain name that’s easy to remember and reflects your brand or website’s purpose. Let Red Rocket secure your domain for you. You could check for availability using online domain registrars (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap). Extensions: Pick the right domain extension (.com, .org, .net, or region-specific ones like .co.uk).

Red Rocket servers are reliable, fast and economical. These servers are managed in data centers in nine countries: the USA, UK, France, Netherlands, Indonesia, Lithuania, Singapore, India and Brazil. Red Rocket will manage the servers on your behalf.

Should your site require better speeds or greater volumes, then a VPS (Virtual Private Server) can be used to provide better performance and control. This will increase the operational cost.

At the top end, "Dedicated" hosting may be best for a high-traffic site that needs more power, but this will also be more expensive.
