Article Surfing ArchiveRegister Your Domain Name - Articles SurfingYou've planned your website and it's time to register your domain name. This may seem like a daunting process, but it's actually a lot faster and easier than most people think. When you're ready to register your domain name, the first step is to find a good domain name registrar. Your search can be done by word of mouth, by referring to advertisements, or through an online search engine. When you've made your choice, you'll register your domain name and begin to check for availability. At this time, you'll find out if your domain name is available for purchase, or someone else has already registered it. There are countless domain names in use, with more being registered every day. If by some stroke of luck you are able to register your domain name, do it, and don't think twice. The next step to register your domain name is to enter your contact information and the DNS (Domain Name System) information for the desired name. This process will ensure that your details will be distributed and held within the particular registry for the TLD purchased. The registry will then file the contact information, and add zone documents to the root servers. These documents will tell other servers how to find your site. After this, the updated information needs to proliferate or propagate. The proliferation is the length of time that will be required for your domain name registration, or changes to the DNS details, to be propagated throughout the DNS. At this point you are actually inserting an entry into a directory of all the domain names and their equivalent computers on the web. When you register your domain name, the registrar will likely have the flexibility to provide the initial registration, followed by domain name renewals in one-year increments. In doing so, you can have a total domain name registration period limit of up to ten years. Each registrar sets the price it charges for registering domain names and prices can vary significantly among various registrars, so shop around. It's not a terribly difficult or lengthy process to register your domain name but, like any important task, it does require effort. Find a good domain name that will allow Internet users to quickly and easily find your site, and register it with a reputable domain name registrar. Once you've registered your domain name, you'll be on the road to website success.
