Domain Name Registration & Hosting
Domain registration
is the process by which a company or individual
can secure a website domain, such as
www.yoursite.com. Once you have completed domain
registration
the
domain
becomes yours for the period of the contract,
usually one year. Before
registration
expires it must be renewed, or the
domain
reverts back to being available to the general
public.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers (ICANN) manages the international
Domain Name Server (DNS)
database. ICANN insures that all registered names are
unique and map properly to a unique Internet Protocol
(IP) address. The IP address is the numerical address of
the website that tells other computers on the Internet
where to find the server host and
domain.
Domain
registration is available
to the public via a
registrar. Fees and services vary
from company to company, but the process
is generally inexpensive. Before a
domain
registration can be
approved, the new name must be checked
against existing names in the DNS
database. The online registrar provides
a field into which you can enter your
desired name and hierarchy —- that is,
the letters that come after the "dot."
Familiar hierarchies are .com, .net,
.org, .name, .info and .biz. If the name
is not already taken, it is available
for
domain
registration.
During the
domain
registration process, you
will be required to give contact
information that will be publicly
available through the WHOIS database.
Anyone can go to a WHOIS search engine
and enter a
domain name to see who has
registered it. Registrars require that
this information be accurate and true.

If you feel
uncomfortable providing personal information,
there are some registrars that will act as your
proxy, supplying their information in place of
your own as the contact for the
domain. There may be a
small fee for this service and potential
drawbacks to balance against the ability to
maintain your privacy, so read the
Terms and Conditions
carefully before deciding to opt for a
domain by proxy.
Also important,
be sure you will
own the
domain name, as
some registrars maintain control over the
domains they register. And
be sure you
retain the option to transfer the
domain to another
registrar, if you wish. There might be
an initial period after which this becomes
possible. Look for any fees that might be
incurred as a result of transferring the
domain. This could become
important down the road if you wish to take
advantage of another registrar's products or
services.
Upon completing the
domain
registration process, it
will take a period of hours to a few
days to be able to see the
domain online. The
domain can be "parked"
with an "in construction" page that acts
as a kind of placeholder. Parking a
domain is very inexpensive
and most registrars offer this service
for a small fee to give you time to come
up with content. |
