I’m completely new to website building and RapidWeaver and just finished my first website… now i’m confused. LOL

What is the next step on activating it? Best place to buy my domain and how to activate it on search engines. Can anyone help?

The Getting Started series is a good place to begin:

> **[RapidWeaver Video Tutorials](https://www.realmacsoftware.com/rapidweaver/tutorials/)**
>
> Learn how to get more from RapidWeaver with our collection of free training and video tutorials.

The other tutorials are excellent (but not free).

There are hundreds of hosts out there but Chillidog Hosting is very-well regarded around here and he knows his stuff when it comes to Rapidweaver (most hosts won’t). [https://www.chillidoghosting.com/](https://www.chillidoghosting.com/)

Lol. 🙂

@tylerrock08 happy to answer any questions you may have. In addition to hosting, you can register any number of domains you’d like at Chillidog.

For getting it listed in search engines, you should sign up for google analytics and google webmaster tools. Get familiar with what these tools offer and how you can submit your site map to them for indexing.
