Your Guide to Online Business / Hosting.
One of the first steps in setting up an online businessis to register your domain name. It’s very easy to do, as long as youknow where to go and understand the terminology.Difficulty: EasyTime Required: 10 minutesHere’s How:First,make sure your domain name has not been registered by someone else bydoing a "whois" search. Most domain registration sites maintain a whoisdatabase, but I generally use VeriSign.com .Enter the domain name you want to check into the online form. Do not enter "www."Some"whois" search forms make you enter a code contained in an on-screengraphic. This is to prevent overuse of the system by automated systems.If you are asked for the code, enter it.The results of thewhois search will tell you if anyone already owns the name. If the nameis taken, you will have to select another one. If it is unregistered,you can proceed.Select a Domain Name Registrar. This is thecompany that will manage the domain registration for you. I have puttogether a list of low cost registrars. You can find others at ICANN.Enter your desired Domain Name on your Registrar’s web site.Select the number of years you want to pay for. Paying for more than one year in advance may save you a little money.Enteryour contact information. There are four types of contacts: theregistrant or owner, technical, billing, and administrative. You mayuse the same name for all if you wish.If your registrar offersyou the option, select a private or public registration. A privateregistration costs more, but will protect your identity and may cutdown on the amount of SPAM you receive.Point your new domainto a Web server or "park" the domain. If you have not yet built a Website, you should park the name with the registrar. If you have built asite, you must tell the registrar on which Web server the site islocated. This information is provided by your Web host.At thispoint, you are probably done! It may take up to 4 to 8 hours for .comand .net domains to become active and about 24-48 hours for otherdomain extensions.
