Register Domain Name

What started in the late 1960s as four networked computers is now the greatest communications and information breakthrough in history. This is, of course, the Internet. Each website you visit, whether it's www.yahoo.com or www.ebay.com or any other site on the web, must have its own unique domain name. You can consider a domain name almost as a website's telephone number. If two sites have the same domain name, just as if two people have the same number, chaos and confusion will ensue.

Because the Internet isn't a static thing, new domain names are being added all the time, just as old ones are being dropped. When you start your own web page, whether it's for your business or for personal use, the first thing you have to do is check and see if the domain name you would like to use is available. If it's not, you may be able to use the same name but with a different extension (.net vs. .com, for example).

Let's use an example. Let's say you own a business called "Carl's Auto" in Lexington, KY. You find that both "carlsauto.com" and "carlsautoparts.com" are taken. Rather than give up, you can choose something like "carlsautopartsky.com," which is available. So far so good, but how do you go about purchasing this domain name?

At MSN.net Hosting, we make this easy for you. You can search from available domain names from our website (as was done in the above example) and purchase one immediately. When you purchase your domain through MSN.net Hosting, you get a free website and unlimited email accounts as part of your transaction. However, if you upgrade to a hosting plan, the purchase of your domain name is included. Better still, we also offer you--free of charge--a professionally-designed website.
