I've written a "Beginner's Guide to creating and using your own domain name", which is aimed at non-technical people who are buying their first domain for use on their own site:

➡️ https://growyourown.services/a-beginners-guide-to-creating-and-using-your-own-domain-name

It tries to cover all the basics and things that might trip you up.

Would appreciate all and any kind of feedback, corrections etc.

If you're moderately technical and know how to install OSes on servers, but you would like a slightly easier process for self-hosting online services, there are many projects aiming to provide this:

➡️ https://yunohost.org

➡️ https://www.freedombox.org

➡️ https://libreserver.org

These all make the process of installing and managing self-hosted sites and services a bit easier, using graphical interfaces instead of command lines.
