Introduction
Domain name registration is the process by which a company or organization, even an individual can get and secure a web site name and domain. This can be any name according to your liking for example www.yourwebsite.com. Domain hosting web is one of the basic necessities of any growing business these days. Once you have completed the domain hosting web process, the domain name becomes your for the period of contract. Usually this period is of one year. Make sure that domain hosting web expires after one year and you should renew it before that period otherwise it might be possible that you become deprived of your domain hosting web and it might be taken by some one else. Then that domain name reverts back to being available to the general public.The internet corporation for assigned names and numbers (ICANN) has the rights and privileges to manage the international Domain Name Serer (DNS) database. All the different domain names which are being used are stored in this huge database and it is assured that no duplication occurs. ICANN assures that all domain names in the domain hosting web are unique and map towards a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address. A question arises: what is IP? IP is the numerical address of the website that tells other computers on the Internet where to find the server host and domain.
Detail
Domain registration is available to the public via a registrar. Fees and services vary from company to company, but the process is generally inexpensive. Before a domain hosting web registration can be approved, the new name must be checked against existing names in the DNS database. The online registrar provides a field into which you can enter your desired name and hierarchy, that is, the letters that come after the "dot." Familiar hierarchies are .com, .net, .org, .name, .info and .biz. If the name is not already taken, it is available for domain registration.

Comments
Upon completing the domain registration process, it will take a period of hours to a few days to be able to see the domain online. The domain can be "parked" with an "in construction" page that acts as a kind of placeholder. Parking a domain is very inexpensive and most registrars’ offer this service for a small fee to give you time to come up with content. Once a registrant is ready to supply content, a web server must host the domain. The registrar might also provide hosting services, or you may wish to transfer your domain to another web hosting company.
