Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want with an organisation called ICANN through a domain name registrar. My personal preference is to register the name directly with a domain name registrar rather than through my web host.
Registering with a
domain name registrar allows me to make sure that I am registered as the owner, the administrative and technical contacts.
Domain names disappear extremely fast. Many people claim that all the
good domain names are gone. If you want a domain name for your site, I suggest you act now, or face the anguish of having lost that name later.
