To obtain a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Take into consideration that you cannot buy a domain for life. You get it for a period of one to ten years. If you fail to renew the domain name at the end of its term, the registration of the domain will be revoked and the domain name may be acquired by another party.
Buying a domain name is one of the easiest tasks. To purchase a domain name, take the following steps:
1- Refer to the website of an authorized registrar.
2- Use the registrar's online search function to search to see if your desired domain name is taken.
3- If your domain name is available, you can then proceed to the next step to complete the registration form and pay by credit card.
******************
Important Tips:
1- As you're registering your name, you will be presented with the option of adding Privacy to your domain registration. A private domain registration will keep your information (name, email address, etc.) out of the global Internet database, and will prevent a lot of spam from reaching your email box. It is highly recommended you select this option.
2- Avoid web hosts offering free domain. Try to register the name yourself, so that you can be sure that you are registered as the owner. If your web host places itself as the owner, they can always decide to not let you change your web hosting service. Especially if you are not happy with their hosting service it can be catastrophic! So don't accept any free domain name and pay for it.
3- Don't trust any cheap service. Some registrars are cheating and misleading their customers. For example if the price of a domain name is $10 /year, they offer it $2 for first year. But next years they charge $35 to renew the domain name! On the other hand, many of cheap services don't allow you to have full control on your domain name.
