In this tutorial, we’re going to show you how to register a domain name on Awardspace.com<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Registering a domain name is a three-step process<\/u>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Choosing a name for your website.<\/li>\n
  2. Setting up a web hosting account.<\/li>\n
  3. Placing a domain registration order.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Step #1: Picking a Domain Name<\/h2>\n

    When choosing a domain\/URL for your website, the name<\/strong> is the most important<\/u> consideration. It is your URL that your visitors will first see when visiting your web page. So, make sure that you choose your name wisely!<\/p>\n

    How to check if my chosen domain is available for registration?<\/h3>\n

    For your convenience, we’ve created a Domain Checker Tool<\/strong> that allows you to check the availability of your desired domain.<\/p>\n

    To see if your domain is available for registration, type in your name in the Check domain name availability<\/em><\/strong> box and press Search<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    If your selected name is already taken, you will see a message indicating that it can be transferred. In this situation, you should choose a different domain. If it is not, please proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n

    Step #2: Setting Up an Account<\/h2>\n

    “Why do I need an account?<\/strong>“, you would probably ask.<\/p>\n

    Having a web hosting account (server) is an essential part<\/u> of every web application\/project. Your server is the place where you can build and design your page, store your files and e-mail messages, and so on.<\/p>\n
