Buying domain name does not mean that you own the domain name for life. It is actually leasing a domain name for a specific period, usually, between one and ten years. When the period expires, you need to register again the domain name for another period of time.

Domain names make it simple to locate a piece of information or a website on the internet. Before the Domain Name System (DNS) was introduced into the wired world, all web sites were accessed through an Internet Protocol address (a series of numbers unique to each website). However, when the Internet gained popularity, access to a web site using an Internet Protocol address became burdensome. Thus, the Domain Name System was developed.

When the commercial potential of the Internet was recognized, many companies and businesses began building their web sites to promote their products. In fact, thousands of domain names are bought everyday.

You can purchase domain name from a domain name registrar. This company is sanctioned by a nonprofit organization responsible for Internet Protocol address space allocation and dedicated to protect the operational stability of the internet. It is always advisable to purchase domain names from an accredited domain name registrar.

In buying domain name, you have to determine first if the domain name you select is available. This can be done by searching in a domain name registrar’s website. In most cases, you can purchase domain name instantly. You have to prepare your details, a list of alternative domain names and your credit card for payment.

If the domain name is available, you can then register it and specify how long you want it registered. If it is not available, you can either choose from the suggested list of similar domain names or check if your alternative domain names are obtainable. Once you find out that your preferred domain name has not yet been taken, don’t expect that it will still be there the following day.

After buying domain name, you can now have its exclusive use for a certain period. When this period ends, you can either return it to the pool of available domain names or extend its usage by registering again for another specific period.
