Registering a Name
After a domain name has been chosen and appropriately searched, a domain name registration request needs to be submitted to a registrar. The following information will be required:
- The desired domain name
- The name and contact information (including email address, physical address and contact phone number) for the domain’s registrant, administrative and billing contacts.
- The desired domain registration term
- Payment information
Once this information has been provided, the registrar will then initiate the domain name registration process. The registrar will send the domain name request, and the contact and technical information of the domain name to the registry.
The registry files the contact information for the Whois. The registry also adds the domain zone files to the master servers. These master servers tell other servers on the Internet where your website is stored. The domain is considered registered and ready-to-use when all information has been updated.
