How To Register A Domain Name-
If you have a website developed locally or you have planned to make a website, then there are two things that you will need — a Domain Name and Web Hosting.

A Domain name is the address of your website, which will be used by your users to access it. For example, technochords.com or google.com these are domain names.

A domain name has two parts, TLD (Top Level Domain) and SLD (Second level domain), for example in technochords.com, technochords is second level domain of TLD .com, or you can say it’s a subdomain of .com TLD. There are many top level domains available, like .com, in, .net, etc. and also country specified TLD like .in, .uk, .ae, etc.

Registering a Domain Name

If you want to register your domain name, then you will have to follow these steps –

Step 1 − Choose a perfect domain name for your website. If it’s a business website, then you may want to go with a domain name, which is the name of your business.

Step 2 − Choose a good domain registrar company having good support infrastructure. For example, GoDaddy or BigRock.

Step 3 − In the registrar’s website, check if your domain name is available for registration. If the domain you selected has been already registered by someone, then you will have to think of some other domain name. If your domain name is available to register, then you can proceed further.

Step 4 − Provide your contact information and everything that the registrar asked for. It is mandatory that you provide correct information while registering a domain name, as it will be visible to everyone if the user looks for WHOIS information.

Step 5 − You can hide your contact details by choosing to be viewed by anyone by subscribing privacy protection service. This service hides all your contact information to everyone except the registrar, this service is provided by many domain registrars at some extra cost.

Step 6 − Complete the purchase by paying the registration fees. Domain name will be registered to you.
