3 - How to Register Domain Name

The domain name is quit simply is a internet address. It’s a format use to locate any particular website around the world.

There are basically two formats or uses of internet address, one is where the domain name is prefixed by “www” – World Wide Web, for example, http://www.money-in10steps.blogspot.com/, or http://www.daily-tv-breakingnews-headlines.blogspot.com/, and second use is in email address, where the domain name is followed by ‘@’ sign, for example, anthony20000@gmail.com.

But the real question is; How to register domain name? Especially domain name you want. Gone are the days when the people use to register the domain of their choice, now there are billions of websites on the net chances are very slim that the site address you want, would be available ‘as is’.

Therefore, you are going to be creative in order to get the domain name which should, preferably, explicitly describe your website theme (i.e., what its about). However, if its available, then you should grab it without any second thoughts.

There are many possibilities to own your site. You can have website absolutely 100% free, or alternatively, pay as much as hundreds of dollars per month. It all depends on how you would want to use the website. For example, if the site is only about sharing family photos and some text on personal experiences extra, then you may want to go for free domain or if you prefer, buy cheaper ones that start from approx. $3 monthly fee.

But it’s a good idea to start off your personal experience on the net as a new comer with the free sites offered on the net.

There are many companies which offer free domaine names and promise full A – Z functionality and utilities at your disposal, but the hard truth is they cannot provide every thing for free, because they themselves have to pay someone else, or e.g., pay for running the business - over-heads etc.

However, in order to get the professional grip and 'full dress' rehearsal of what you’re going to be doing I would strongly recommend one company which has been around for many years and have their own strong financial system to support themselves, yes you guessed it, that is, Wordpress.com.

Some companies like, www.wordpress.com and www.blogger.com, offer amazing free stuff, e.g., customized free domaine name, disk space in GB, Bandwidth in GB, Unlimited email accounts, have your own ‘cpenal’ and variety of other administrative ownerships along with other automated functionalities, like, site building, free hosting, SQL database and many more, including the tutorials on How to Register Domain Name and other useful stuff.

So ahead get your free website here and play around as much as like. Enjoy!






On the other hand, if the purpose is to promote the existing business or even starting the business online of any kind, I would strongly recommend that you should go for buying domain, preferably with .COM or .NET domains names.


Happy Blogging and to Your Success!
