How to Register a Domain Name in Your Own Unique Way

Do a “whois” search to make sure no one has already registered your desired name. It will help you to avoid future problems with the domain name you register. I personally prefer to use Verisign

On the form, do not include the www with your desired name. For example type in myname.com and not www.myname.com. Also include your desired top level domain you want alongside the name you type into the form, like .com, .edu, .net, .org or any other.
