How to get a domain Laravel

Learn how to secure a Laravel domain with an example of how to do it in just a few steps.

Getting a Domain for Your Laravel Project

Before you can get started with your Laravel project, you need to get a domain name. A domain name is an address on the web, like www.example.com. It's important to choose a good one, as it will be the way people find your website on the internet.

The first step is to decide what name you want for your website. You can use a domain name search tool to help you find the perfect name. Once you have found a name that you like, you should check to see if it is available. You can do this by searching the domain registrar sites, like GoDaddy or NameCheap.

Once you have chosen a name and checked to see if it is available, you can purchase the domain. You will need to provide some personal information and pay the registration fee. The cost of registering a domain name can range from a few dollars to several hundred, depending on the name and the registrar.

Once you have purchased the domain name, you need to point it to your web server. This is done by changing the Domain Name System (DNS) settings. You will need to provide the name servers of your web host, and the domain registrar will provide instructions on how to do this.

To finish up, you will need to configure the domain for your Laravel project. You can do this by adding the domain to your Laravel application in the config/app.php file. You will also need to update your .env file with your new domain name.

// app.php

'url' => env('APP_URL', 'http://example.com'),

// .env

APP_URL=http://www.example.com

Once you have done this, you should be able to access your Laravel project using the new domain name. Congratulations, you have now registered a domain for your Laravel project!
