DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION

A domain name is the name of our website, the way in which we would like it to appear in place of "$$$$$" in www.$$$$$.com . We can decide the name which best suits our site and which is easy to remember. Then it has to be submitted for registration to the domain-space provider. First the availability of that domain name is checked; if its avaiable, furthur procedure is followed; if not then we have to choose a different name.
Then a form is to be filled wherein a detailed information about the site owner and the means of payment and various other things is to be filled. Once the money gets transferred into their account, within a short period our desired domain name gets registered and then we can use it as our website name.
One more important thing to be taken care of is the extention, i.e. either .com or .org or .net and others. Few such name extentions are available. Out of them all, the .com name is usually the costliest. Also it is the most popular one and hence is the one mostly remembered. So there is a trade-off between a costlier domain name extention and its popularity. Hence we should we choose the one which is most suitable to us.
