First of all you will need a domain name.
A domain name is a name like "google.com" or "yahoo.com", which you can use to "name" your web site.

Registration Overview

Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want, Once you have decided on a suitable name, Contact Us and we will make sure it get registered quickly.  That will give you the right to the name for a year, and you will have to renew it annually.

Domain names disappear (and reappear) extremely fast. Many people claim that all the good domain names are gone. Not so! Every business has a unique name and that is a key point in finding a name that suits your needs - but it is probably true that most good domain names that are descriptions of products and services have been taken (like boats.com). If you want a domain name for your site, I suggest you act now, or face the agony of having lost that name later. After all, US$18.95  for a year's ownership of the name is pretty cheap when you realize that you're cornering a good name for your web site.

Once you've decided or found a good name , you should not hesitate, Contact Us. Domain names go quickly. If you find a name that works for you, get it NOW because tomorrow it may be gone.

WL Mark Web Development can register your and you just pay the registration fees,

WL Mark Web Development will always register your domain in your name.

We highly recommend that you register the name your self, so that you can be sure that you are registered as the owner. Being the owner is vital - if someone else places himself as the owner (such as your web host), he can always decide to charge you for the use of the name later, and there is little you can do. Use your name for all contacts so if you need to transfer your domain in the future there will be less likely hood of a problem arising.

Step By Step Instructions

If you want to register a domain name, here's what you need to do. Please read it all before acting.

• Think of several domain names that you'd like to use. You may be surprise how many are already taken . Most importantly it should contain all or part of your companies name. Use initials for part of it if need be.The two most popular options are .net and .com
  
  There is a trade off between a large name opposed to a short name, for instance if your companies name is "The Painted Pony Diner" and you find that "thepaintedponydiner.com" is taken there are options:
  
  paintedponydiner.com
  thepaintedpony.com
  paintedponydiner.net
  thepaintedpony.net
  thepaintedponydiner.net
  
  We recommend avoiding the following:
  
  the-painted-pony-diner.com
  tppd.com
  
  People tend to forget the "-" and the initials are easily forgotten.
  However this is a situation that you will need to think about and which best expresses your business.
  
  Then have your credit card handy. This will allow you to claim the domain name immediately after locating a suitable match to your business.

• Now that you have a name you will have to "point" the name to your web host provider.
  
  You will need their primary and secondary name servers. Don't worry if you don't understand what these things mean. Just save the information somewhere. (when you register your domain, there will be text boxes to enter this information)

• If you already have a web host, you can just go to one of the registrars listed below and apply for the domain name. Be sure you have the information mentioned earlier.
