Domain registration refers to the process of registering a unique domain name for a website or an online entity. A domain name is a unique address that identifies a website on the internet, and 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, which is a company that is accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to sell and manage domain names. To register a domain name, you need to choose a name that is available, 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 of time, usually one to ten years, depending on the length of the registration. During this time, you can use the domain name to create a website, set up email addresses, and establish an online presence. You will need to renew your domain registration periodically to continue using the domain name.
