How to Register A Domain
Domains allow users to access your website with a simple address, such as "mydomain.com." When you register a domain, you will need to decide upon both a name and a top-level domain (TLD). Examples of TLDs to choose from include .com, .net and .org. Only legitimate Internet registrars who are accredited by ICANN have the authority to grant you a domain name, and their business is to make the registration process fast and simple.

Enter your choice of payment. Most registrars will accept PayPal and major credit cards such as Visa or MasterCard. A domain is generally registered for one year, and the prices vary depending on the registrar. There will probably also be an option to choose to register for more than one year if you wish. Usually when a registrar gives this option, they also offer some sort of savings for registering multiple years.
