Till now we have understood what domain names actually are and how to choose the perfect name.
Now Let's see how one can obtain a domain name.
Domain names are not exactly bought, but they are rgeistered.
One can register a domain name from domain Registrars like godaddy.com.
Domain names can actually be compared to a man's life.
Once you register a domain you give life to it. Normally, the life of a domain name is just a year.
Yes, when a domain name is registered it can be used only for a year and then it expires,
in other words it is no longer under your name.
The domain name dies out and can be registered by some other person.
But 1 year is not the only option.
Some people are crazy enough to register domain names for like 100 years!
Yes, even you will be able to do that for some extra cash...........
You can also renew your domain name every year if you dont want to pay at once.
Its like instalments!
So let's come to the point. I will explain the full process!
* Find a good domainregistrar.
* Search for a good domain name at their website which is very user-friendly.
* If the domain you search for is registered an error message shows up.
* ( To make sure the domain you want is not registered go to whois.net or allwhois.com and search for the domain you want, It shows whether its registered or available. Search for other Whois websites at google or other search engines ).
* When you are sure your domain name is not registered then try registering the domain. The registeration process which takes like 6 -7 steps begins.
* During the process your personal details like name, contact email, contact address, phone number are all taken. Enter your information.
* In the last step pay for your domain name using your creditcard or check or draft (Its your choice).
* You then get a confirmation mail confirming that your domain is registered from the registrar!
* Go to any whois site and search for the domain name you have registered and it will be shown registered under your name. Your personal details would be shown below it.
* Thats it! Have fun with your Domain!
