Tilda is an intuitive block-based website builder that requires no programming skills. Before you plug in a domain, it’s a good idea to first understand what a domain is and why you need one.
Domain, or domain name, is nothing else than the name of the site on the Internet, which in the future your site will search the network users. It can be seen in the address bar:
What is a domain
The name you choose for your site only affects the effect produced on the audience and virality. A site that has a catchy and concise name that contains keywords that match the site’s content has a distinctly better chance of being remembered by internet users.
To the site received its personal address on the Internet, to it it is necessary to “screw” domain name. On the FREE tariff of the Tilda constructor are available only subdomains that end in tilda.ws, which is quite suitable as a temporary measure, but not if you are going to make a serious long-term project. In that case you need your own domain.
If you pay for any annual plan, Tilda gives you a domain name for a whole year. The domain is registered for you at REG.RU registrar. At the end of the year of lease, you will start paying REG.RU service for the use of the domain at the registrar’s rate. This is quite convenient for beginners, as they will not have to deal with DNS settings, all settings are entered in the personal cabinet Tilda.
