Registering a domain name is seen by many newcomers to the net as a very complicated, highly technical task that the common mortal cannot do.
Nothing might be further from the truth.
You merely would like to bits of information on hand after you register your domain name:
- What you're visiting call this domain
- and your net hosting DNS values, these are give to you by your hosting company and look something like:
NS1.WEBSITEWELCOM.COM and
NS2.WEBSITEWELCOME.COM
They're nearly invariably provided to you in pairs.
Therefore 1st go to a reputable domain name registrar.
I recommend using either http://www.Higher-Domain-Names.com or http://www.Godaddy.com
These may not be the most cost effective registrars currently on the net but their service, and reliability are incredible. I generally work on the principle "You get what you buy", and never a more true issue will be said concerning domain name registrars.
OK, lets walk through the process of registering a site name:
Using your internet browser, visit a site registrar. Typically on the front page there's an enquiry option to check if the domain name you would like is available.
Lets say as an example, that you are attempting to register a site name for your Dog Coaching website.
Thus you type in dogtraining.com press enter, and it comes back that that domain is already take.
Currently, I might suggest that you place prefix and or suffix words to the domain name you are after.
Thus you could attempt:
betterdogtraining.com
bestdogtraining.com
dogtrainingnewsletter.com
dogtraininganswers.com
You may conjointly strive putting dashes "-" in your domain names to separate words.
Admittedly, there are a cluster of search engine optimization folks who currently believe that the search engines are now starting to penalize sites with 'dashes" in them.
Another factor, sites that do not contain dashes and don't have any numbers in them, usually seller for a better price.
Therefore if you think you might sell your domain someday in the longer term, then it may be advisable to avoid using both dashes and numbers.
Shall we say, that you find dogtraininganswers.com is available.
Thus you progress to a higher page. Typically this asks you for the details of the person who goes to be the owner of this domain. Generally this will be your name, address, phone range etc.
Next the system can raise you for a way long you would like to register your domain for, the minimum period is one year and the maximum I have seen is ten years. Most individuals opt for the 1 year amount, solely as a result of it prices the least.
On the Higher-Domain-names.com screen and also the Godaddy.com page, you'll see a link that claims:
"If hosting your web site elsewhere, please click here to set name servers"
Please set your name servers currently (using the name server values given to you by your hosting company), otherwise if you have to come back and modification the default name servers at a later date. the matter is that it generally takes a long time for the name servers to propagate around the online and you could wait several days for this to happen. But if you set them currently, they ought to propagate inside a jiffy, perhaps [*fr1] an hour at the most.
Once you have got keyed in *both* name servers values, you then move onto the payment screen where you key in your mastercard details.
Here you may see an option known as "Auto Renew". Check this box!
This allows you to renew the domain automatically when its term expires. Any smart domain name registrar should send you an multiple emails before the domain is about to expire, and if you're taking no action on these emails, then the domain can get automatically renewed.
If you do not set this "Auto renew" possibility, then system will let the domain lapse and it becomes available for a few else to purchase.
Once you press the "submit" button, it will take just a few seconds for that new domain name to be yours.
