Register Domain Names

In this tutorial we will search and register a domain name on Bluehost which is one of the top web hosting companies in the world.

There are lots of other web hosting and domain companies out there, but I found Bluehost services very good, affordable and reliable.

If you already have a domain name and web hosting then you can go to STEP 3 to install and setup WordPress.

Search For A Domain Name To See If It Is Available For You To Register

I use Bluehost for my web hosting and domain registration.

What Is A Domain Name?

A domain name is the physical address of your website (www) with extension (.com, .org, .net) in word format. 

A DNS (domain name system) translates the IP address (internet protocol address) for example 123.215.12.19 to a word format like test.com. 

It is much easier to remember a word than an IP address. When you use a web browser like Google Chrome or Yahoo then it is easier to type the domain name in word format than IP address.

Examples Of Internet Domain Names

• www.apple.com
• www.wikipedia.org
• www.php.net
• www.yahoo.co.uk

Register A Free Bluehost Domain Name With Web Hosting (Easy Steps)

I personally prefer to register (.com, .org, .net or country specific .co.uk, .co.za), but there are lots of other types of domain extensions available to register on Bluehost. 

Other web hosting and domain companies will have their own search box.

1. Search For A Domain Name

Do a search in the live search box above and check availability of your domain name.

Add a domain name or company name that you like in the search box. Then choose the domain extension by clicking the dropdown like in the following image.

2. Check If Domain Is Available

After searching for your business name or a name that you like it will show available or unavailable. If it shows unavailable then somebody already registered the domain name. You can also add hyphen between 2 words example: electric-car.com.

If the domain is available to register it will pop up like this image below:

It can also say not available for registration as in below image.
