How To Register A Domain Name In Nigeria

Registering your domain
name is the first
step in establishing your
online presence
and reaching visitors. We'll
show you how to create and register your
domain, avoid
some of the pitfalls that
can arise, and
choose the best domain
name to make sure that your site reaches
the most
people. Read below if you
want to get on
your way to a successful
website! 1.Choose a hosting
service. Choose a
service to host your
website, or go with
the service that you
already have (if you inherited a website).
There are
many reputable ones, and
you will
want to choose a
reputable one, but they tend to have different
customer
service policies and prices.
Choose
what's best for you. *Reputable hosting
services include
Register.com,
GoDaddy.com, and
eNom.com. *The hosting services all
work with
the ICANN database,
which is in
charge of keeping track of
all domain names, so they
should all
turn up the same
information. 2.Use the availability
checker. These
sites will all have an
availability
checker, where you type
in the domain name you want and they
tell you if it's
available or suggest
alternatives if it
isn't. Some will even tell
you if there is a cheaper domain with a
slightly
different name. 3
Select other services. Once
you've
found an available domain
name, you'll
want to select it and follow the
instructions for that
particular service.
When you select your
domain name,
you will also have the opportunity to
add on other services that
the host
also provides. Choose
what's best for
you. 4
Fill out their forms. They
will then ask
for a bunch of information
from you.
This is necessary to register with the
WHOIS database, where
the owners of
websites are required to
list their
information. This information can be
made public or you can
choose to
keep in private (usually for
an added
fee). 5
Pay them. Websites aren't
free! Enter
your payment information
and make
sure it's correct. This is why it's a
good idea to choose a
reputable site
because they will have
your payment
information. 6
Use their tools. Once
you're registered
with them and everything
is good to
go, you can start using their tools to
upload stuff to your site.
You can also
set up uploading through
software
programs like Firefox or Dreamweaver Hope this helps?
