A Basic Idea About Domain Hosting


If you are someone who has an online marketing business or if you are a web designer, having your own website is of utmost importance. Also for people who are neither of the above, but want to have a website either for personal or business purposes, having a presence on the World Wide Web is essential. The first and foremost thing to do to own a website is to buy a domain. Domain registration is actually the process a company or a person can get a website domain. After the domain registration gets complete, the person or company becomes the owner of the domain for a particular period of time. The registration has to be renewed with the cheap domain hosting company before the registration expires. If it is not renewed, the domain comes up for sale to the general public.

If you want a website, you must be looking for a cheap domain hosting company. The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has been given the responsibility of managing the international Domain Name Server (DNS) database. It is ICANN which insures that all the names that are being registered are unique and have been mapped properly with an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

For people looking for a cheap domain hosting company, the registrar is where they have to apply at. Though fees will vary, a cheap domain hosting company will charge very little for the service. Before a domain is registered, it is first checked with the existing domain names in the database. The cheap domain hosting company will provide the registrar online where you will have to type your desired name and hierarchy such as.net,.com,.org,.biz and.info. If the name has not been taken by anyone, it will be available.

During the process of getting registered with a cheap domain hosting company, the person has to give out some personal information. Registrar rules are such that the information provided is true and accurate. If you are not comfortable giving out personal information about yourself, you will have the option of choosing one of the many services that allow you to use them as proxy for a small charge. Though this may lead to problems regarding your privacy, it is definitely an option.

Before registering with a cheap web hosting company, it is important to read the Terms and Conditions properly to make sure that you and only you shall be the owner of the domain name. This is because some cheap domain hosting companies are known to retain ownership of the domains registered under them. Also, retaining the right to transfer the domain to another registrar is important. Some cheap domain hosting companies may give you this right only after the initial period and charge a small fee.

If you are thinking of buying a domain from a cheap domain hosting company, ICANN recommends that you deal with an accredited registrar. They are not only inexpensive; they also meet certain standards set by ICANN to provide domain name registration services.
