Domain registration is easy, but can be a nightmare if you get the wrong company. All domain registrars that you deal with should be ICANN approved. ICANN accreditation means that the company must go through many things before being accredited. You can expect to pay as cheap as $1.99 all the way up to almost $30.00 a year for web domain registrations. Cheap web domains are usually cheaper in prices, because you don’t get all the extras that the more expensive registrar give you.

Some of the things that cheaper domain registration companies won’t let you do are transfer your domain name. If you want to make changes, this is something that you should consider before purchasing your web domains.

Many web hosting companies give you a free web domain if you sign with them usually for a stated length of time. It also usually renews every year that you keep the web hosting with the company.
