Nowadays everything is online. If we open a small business also, there will be a website created for it so that customers can see and buy things virtually from there. Have you ever wondered how this website is created? What are the steps to get a domain name for the company/store which you are going to start? Let us go through each step.

First of all, we need to decide a domain name for your company. It should be unique, so we will have to register it at a Domain Name Registrar. A Domain Name Registrar is an organization or commercial entity that manages the reservation of Internet domain names. A registrar allows you to officially register your desired website domain name so that it is unique to you, and no one else can own it.

Domain Registration Process

Step 1: Select an appropriate domain name

Step 2: Check the domain’s availability by performing a WHOIS look-up. It can be performed through http://www.internic.net/whois.html or using the shell command “whois”

Step 3: Once the availability is confirmed, select any domain registrar such as godaddy.com, enom.com etc.

Step 4: Provide the registrant details such as period of registration, domain name, contact details and name servers in the registrar portal and make the payment

Step 5: Once the process is complete, you should get confirmation mail in the registered email id.

Step 6: Check the domain status using “whois” like in Step 2 and confirm your registration.
