How to Register a Domain Name DNS

Registering a domain name and getting a DNS is a simple process.

A domain name is the address used to get to a website. You can get your own domain name created by registering it with a domain registrar. The DNS or domain name servers are where your domain is hosted with your registrar. This will be assigned to you automatically when you register your domain name.

Things You'll Need

• Domain name ideas
• Credit card

Instructions

1. Choose a registrar where you can register your domain name. A few that you can consider are Register, Godaddy, and Name.com (see resources).

2. Enter the domain that you wish to register in the search box and click "Search" to see if it is available or not. If it isn't, you will need to try another name. Oftentimes you won't be able to find the name that you want as a .com, but you can find it as a .org, or .net.

3. Check out and pay. Once you have found an available name, you will need to pay for it with either a credit card or via Paypal. Once you have paid you can create your account by adding a user name and password. You will then add your administrative and technical contact details. This will include a phone number and valid email address.
