Domain registration refers to registering a unique domain name for a website or an online entity. A domain name is an individual address that identifies a website online. It typically consists of two parts: the actual name chosen by the website owner and the top-level domain (TLD), such as .com, .org, or .net.
Domain registration is usually done through a domain registrar, a company that the Internet Corporation accredits for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to sell and manage domain names. To register a domain name, you need to choose an available name, select a TLD, and provide some personal and contact information to the registrar. You will also need to pay a registration fee, which varies depending on the registrar and the length of the registration period.
Once you register a domain name, you become the owner of that name for a certain period, usually one to ten years, depending on the length of the registration. You can use the domain name to create a website, set up email addresses, and establish an online presence during this time. You must renew your domain registration periodically to continue using the domain name.
