Apart from hosting, what other aspects of making a site live does one have to pay for?

I know that for a site to go live, hosting must be paid for. Is hosting the only aspect of a site that needs to be paid for? What are other things that needs to be paid for if a site has to go live? What are typical expenses for sites to take off?

Apart from the hosting, you have to pay for a domain name before hosting, SSL certificate, DNS, email, CDN, backups, licences, plus any paid plugins, security or marketing tools if needed.

Launching a website isn't just about hosting; it also requires paying for a domain name. There are design and development costs to ensure the site continues to function efficiently. Security certificates like SSL are also essential. If you have high-quality content, you can invest in marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) to make it easier for visitors to find you. These are all necessary expenses for creating a website.

The domain name has to be registered with funds. Some cost as cheap as $10 for basic domain extensions.
