Your
Domain Name
One
of the first steps to having a website is the acquisition of your
domain name. For helpful tips about the choosing your domain name
read this article.
All
domain names are registered in order to insure that no two are alike.
It's sort of like your car license or social security number.
Although
there are many companies that facilitate the registration, the domain
name is actually registered with ICANN, the Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers. They hold the master list of all
domain names in their database and have total authority to approve
a company to act as their agent in the registering process. If you
want to make sure that the compan you're thinking of registering
your domain name with is legit, visit their website - www.icann.org.
The
following companies are ICANN approved and have been in the business
for many years. In fact, Network Solutions was the first and only
company in the beginning years of the world wide web who was authorized
by ICANN.
