The procedure of purchasing web domains

To register a free domain, you must contact your domain name registrar. The cheapest domains are registered by the registrars we checked, selected on this page. Also, this service can be provided by your hosting provider. If you have not decided on hosting yet, pay attention to the hosting tariffs for the inexpensive and very reliable hosting service provided here. It will provide you with inexpensive reliable hosting and will quickly register a domain. Depending on the chosen tariff plan, you may get a domain for free, as a gift.

So you have chosen a domain name, it turned out to be free, you have chosen a registrar and paid for a domain. After some time (the registration time may vary depending on the domain zone), the domain is registered and is your property. 

How to correlate a domain with a website

To do this, make sure that the server processing the request refers to the IP addresses of the server on which your site is physically located. Find out the ns-server of your hosting and specify them using the web interface on the website of your domain registrar. If your hoster registered the domain for you, he will take care of this.

Responsibly treat the password received during registration

You must be careful about the username and password that you will receive when registering a domain. If the password and login fall into the hands of detractors, or even just thoughtless hooligans, a rather unpleasant situation may arise: you can not only temporarily lose control of the domain, but also lose it if these detractors change your password and e-mail to reset your password. This is especially true for domains where the registration does not verify the identity of the future owner of the domain and you can register the domain in a fictitious name. For example, this is a domain registration com, net, org.

No need to give a username and password from the domain name control panel to anyone except your organization’s technical support service. Or you can not give them, if you yourself will control the relevance of ns-servers when changing the hosting provider. If you are changing technical support, also change the username and password for the domain control panel. However, in this case, changing the password for access to the hosting will not be out of place. Possessing passwords, a disgruntled former employee can greatly ruin your site, or even completely, as mentioned above, deprive you of control over the domain name.

Keep track of your domain registrar account

Otherwise, one day you may wake up, no longer being the owner of the domain. After the expiration of the registration period (usually one year), the domain must be renewed. If you do not, your domain name will be free and free for anyone to register. If the domain name is good or "untwisted" in terms of attendance, IC, PR, it will immediately be taken by interested parties, for example, your competitors, cybersquatters or other persons interested in your traffic or links from your domain.

For example, in 2000, Active Bank, having not paid the aktiv.ru domain in a timely manner, lost it. The domain name was taken by the company, which also owned activ.ru, which resulted in a good kit, which was soon sold for a decent amount.
