How to Register a Domain Name
Good domain names do give the public an idea of what they will find at your site, and if they are the same as the company's name or brand, they make it easier to find your Web site on the Internet.
Businesses should be making use of a domain name registration company to centrally administer all their domains. There are lots of very professional companies that have been in business for years that provide fully functional control panels that give their customers full control over their domain names. After you register domain names the name server details can be changed from their old host to their new host.
A lot of people are under the misconception that they should purchase a domain through their ISP or content provider. The services that the companies provide make it simpler for individuals and companies to purchase domains. You can do it by yourself without any help (or fees) for the service.
When the domain is available, you can proceed to the next step. Then you fill up some information about the purchasing agent yourself and need to know in advance the two DNS servers you will be using for your domain. To find this info out look up the domain of the ISP or host you will be using. There are two DNS servers most likely to be the same ones that you will need. You can copy and paste them from who is lookup page to your registration form (provided you have opened two browser windows).
Once you have filled out and submitted the form, they will email you the form, and you simply reply to the email. You don't have to place any new info in the form, just reply to the email, sending the info they have sent you back to them. They do this to stop people from registering domains under other people's name without their consent.
Although you don't need to go through your ISP to actually register domain names, that doesn't mean that your ISP won't come into play here. You need to give them a call or drop an email explaining what you are doing, and they charge you a fee to setup the domain on their system and add it to the DNS files. There will of course be a fee for you to actually host the site on their servers, although you are under no obligation to host it with them. Once the domain is bought and paid for, you can move it to any ISP or host you wish.
