A. Buy a domain name
Domains are a unique way to identify yourself on the Internet. There are two parts to a domain: the name and the extension. The name is the description of yourself or your site (for example, the name
"dogfood" in dogfood.com). The extension represents the domain category. For example, the .com extension means "commercial," .net means "network," and so on. There are many extensions available today: .biz (business), .info (resource sites), .us (American sites), .ca (Canadian sites), to name a few. The "www" is automatically inserted by the web server that hosts your site and is not part of the domain name.
You cannot use a domain name until you register it. In addition, you cannot register a domain name that is owned by someone else. The registration process is fairly simple:
1. Decide on a domain name and extension. Domain names are leased, and the registration fee usually represents the cost for one year of ownership.
2. Select a registrar and register your domain name.
We recommend Clickaname.com
one of the best deals we can find on the
net. (We also offer services to find the best available

A domain has to be told which web host to direct visitors
to, and this is done by changing the domain's name server
records.
During
registration process, you will be asked to input name
servers in your domain record. These name servers for
our company is these:
Name Servers:
ns1. DNS19.DNSLISTS.NET
ns1. 63.247.69.243
ns2. DNS20.DNSLISTS.NET
ns2. 63.247.69.244
For example, on clickaname.com
site, during a registration process, you need to enter name
server address which are DNS19.DNSLISTS.NET
and DNS20.DNSLISTS.NET and IP addresses which
are 63.247.69.243
and 63.247.69.244
B. Get hosted by us
1.
Once you have purchased a domain name you will need us to host it. The domain name is just an address; that is, it points to files on a web server. Hosting companies provide web servers and this is where your web site is stored.
Choose a plan from us and register.
We will notify with all other information to get you
started!
2.
It takes 24-72 hours for
the change to take effect.
