Domain Names - Availability and
Registration
To check name availability
or register a domain name
For beginners and quick registrations = register your own domain
name, host it at Network Solutions and receive your own email address "anyname@yourname.com" and receive other
services --
In every www. address there
is a part that is called the domain name.
It usually comes right
after the www.
Our domain name is
"ShastaLaw.net" or "ShastaLaw.net" so the url is
"www.ShastaLaw.net."
The last three letters are
the type of web site you are operating
".com" =
commercial site
".org" =
organization site
".net" =
network site
The InterNIC is an agency
that registers domain names in the US, it has been taken over by Network Solutions.
check with InterNIC to see
if your preferred name choice is available
Fill out the application
form, submit it, and respond to the emails and invoice sent to you by Internic.
Note - InterNIC's instructions will tell you how to set up an account
and register. You'll need information from your domain name host if you do not use
the quick registration process at Network Solutions. If you host with your own
ISP you will need to call them to get the necessary address information.
If you don't have a
service provider to host your web domain go to our ISP Service Page
and locate a host ISP or contact us.
You can also create
your own free web pages without a domain name
