Setting up a Web site with your own domain name (www.yoursite.com) is a simple process, though finding a name you like may prove difficult. Registration usually gives you exclusive use of a domain name for 1 to 5 years.

Follow these steps to register a new domain name for your website:


1 Go to an official Internet registrar online. (such as MyDomain.com or GoDaddy.com)

2 Enter the name or phrase of the domain name you would like to register. Follow the rules regarding name length and format. As a general rule of thumb you generally want to have a domain that is as short as possible and without dashes.

3 Search for the name in the domain search box provided on their site.

4 If the domain name is already taken, enter a new name and search again until you find one that is still available. If you tried .com as a suffix, and it is not available you may want to try .org or .net instead.

5 Register the domain name following that particular registrar's proceedures.

6 Pay the domain registration filing fee online or through the mail, following the instructions on the registrars site.
