Buying a domain name used to cost a lot and be for those select tech geeks that could track down a reputable domain dealer and buy redirect and use a domain name for their websites.
Now-a-days you can buy a domain name from any number of sources and you can do it all within minutes. You can even use paypal now at some sites to buy domains. Their are all different extensions, .org, .info, .us and now the world is getting full on involved with the world wide web and showing up with their own country codes like the .us such as; .eu for Europe, .cn for China, and .de for Germany.
If you’re worried that your domain name won’t work with your free host, don’t worry about it. If you use Blogger, or MSN Spaces to blog, or even myspace. Your blog on all of those sites has a main URL, all you need to do is redirect your URL from your domain host to that address. It usually takes only a few clicks. Seriously. Then you can give out your domain name rather than www.myspace.com/blogs/thisblog/2393jge93#3##tregfv983r8.
Some places where you can buy a domain name easily are:
GoDaddy.com
RegFly.com
1and1.com
Register.com
Yahoo Domains
Netfirms.com
These are just a few of the more reputable domain hosts out there. There are tons more and you just have to find one that works for you. If you want to change your host you have to wait 60 days prior to changing every time you change.
