Web hosting, domains and internet service, with scams first. Fake "domain renewal" letters and emails are common: renew only through the registrar you already use, and check your real expiration date with ICANN Lookup. ICANN never bills you directly. Then registrars, hosts, and how to find internet service at your address, including satellite for rural and off-grid homes. Listings are commercial.
