How Domain Registration Works

[akhilkhan]

First, you have to choose a company that offers domain registration.you’ll be safe with one of he big names like Yahoo, GoDaddy,The price for a one year’s domain registration shouldn’t be more than $9. If it is, there is probably some extra services or a web hosting plan included.Registering a domain name is a necessary process, an on-line contract that proves that the domain name is yours and no one else can use it. It is a set group of terms and conditions that you and all others must adhere to. Some sites take care of this for you and you are required to do nothing; while others require you to fill out a long and detailed form regarding the domain name registration.Generally it is a straightforward step-by-step process, where you just have to follow the instructions on screen.No technical knowledge is neededSometimes you may be asked for a Name Server. This is important if you are already using a web hosting service that is not your domain registrar. You can ask your tech people to contact that web host and find out what the name servers are, or you can register your domain with the default name servers. This information can always be changed later.When you register a name, you need to decide for how long you wish to reserve it. Every domain name registrar, has a pricing chart. Note the longer you reserve your name upfront, the more you’ll save.

Re: How Domain Registration Works

Can you please guide me how to go about buying a cheap domain name that I can easily transfer (sell) to others? I mean what's the process of transferring the domain after you have bought it in your name with your account information?

Thanks for any help!

Most of the Registrars like Godaddy, Moniker, Namecheap etc allow easy transfer of the domain. You can transfer the domain to the buyer's account, if you have his username, email id, contact details. Some registrars require only username while some require only email id and so on.
