It might be helpful to know that a domain name is quite similar to an address forwarding service. The domain name is the address that people type into their browser to get to your web site. The domain name points to the "real" address of the name server that holds all your web site content.

The "real" or "actual" address is called the IP address and consists of a long series of numbers, such as 128.14.297.86. The IP address points to the exact location on the server where your web site files are stored, thus enabling users all across the Internet to view your web pages.

Domain names are used instead of IP addresses, because most people find it much more convenient to remember a name rather than a series of numbers.

If you wish to register your personal or business domain name at this time, the process is very simple. First, enter your domain name in the input field below and then click "Search." If your domain is available, then you will be given the choice to login to your existing account (if you already have one) or to create a new account for registering a domain.

Once logged in, only a few steps remain in order to complete the registration process — including the chance to add privacy to your domain (for your Whois protection) or any of our other premium services to your registration. Domain Parking and additional free options are included.
