We work with new companies in the UK and are always advising them on domain names, so this is kind of relevant. One thing that people should bear in mind are the different laws in different countries. For example, in Australia and Canada, if you are not a national in that country, you do need to have a registered business to buy a domain name. There is lots of info surrounding this, but thats the basic fact.

I’ve been using godaddy for years to register domains. Never used their hosting, but registering domains is cheap at godaddy. Another thing about godaddy is you can almost always find a coupon on the internet to save even more. Whether it be for domains or their other services.

Only slight drawback I see with godaddy is during the checkout/purchase process they try to sell you all kinds of other things. Sometimes it’s difficult to tell when you are finally done with the checkout form, and actually completed your purchase. This is not terribly confussing, but a little annoying.

Good luck!

Domain name registration is not a difficult process. But I have seen that for new comers it is always some what tricky. The way you have described the procedure and I must say the science of domain name registration is very admirable. I really appreciate. Thanks for very nice post. I’m sure lots of newbies and even others will find this very informative and helpful.

I agree with the statement that you shouldnt register your domain name and hosting in the same place. This way you your eggs arent in one basket. The popular domain registration services out today are godaddy and enom. I recommend both.

Pricing would be important of course, but as the saying goes, “You get what you pay for”.

Checking out the domain registrar with others or looking for a review of the domain registrar would reveal whether they are easy to deal with.
