Instructions for Buying a Domain Name

Purchasing a domain name is the first step to creating your website.

Begin by choosing a domain name that reflects your website’s purpose or brand.

Ensure the name is easy to remember, type, and pronounce.

Check for the availability of your desired domain name using a domain registrar like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.

If your preferred domain is taken, consider variations or different extensions such as .com, .net, or .org.

Once you’ve found an available name, add it to your cart.

Create an account with the registrar if you don’t have one.

Fill in your contact details as required by ICANN regulations.

Proceed to the checkout and choose your registration period, typically from one to ten years.

Review your purchase, select any additional services like privacy protection, and complete the payment process.

You now own a domain name, which is the address users will use to find your website.
