How
do I register my own domain name?
In order to obtain a domain name, you must have it registered with a Registry
authorized to issue and license domain names. At the time of this writing,
there are about 20 Registries authorized by The Internet Consortium for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the organization charged by the US Department
of Commerce to oversee the Internet. Before a domain can be issued, it must
be programmed into at least two special internet connected computers which
are known as name servers. Name servers act as directories and tell other
internet users where the web space associated with a domain name is precisely
located on the Internet.
We have provided you with a fully automated service that will handle this
registration process for you. We will submit your domain application to
the Registries and program our name servers computers to support your domain.
Once the Registry announces that your domain name has been registered, it
usually takes a couple of days before it shows as being registered on the
domain search tools you find all over the internet.
