There are many domain registrars on the internet, but not all of them are created equally. GoDaddy.com is a very popular one and they are very reasonably priced. You can often register a domain name for as little as $10-$20/year, depending on which registrar you choose. When choosing a registrar you'll of course want to be focused on the price, but you'll also want to consider what kind of customer support they offer.
Once you choose a registrar, you'll be able to search for the domain you want right on the site to see if it's available. You will usually always want to go with a domain that ends in .com. Sites that end in .com tend to be more valuable than sites that end in .net, .org, or .info.
You can find a great domain name for your given niche using the same keyword tool we just spoke about. If you can't register your .com name because it's already taken, go back to the tool and find one similar. You may find that the new name you come up with is even better than the old one.
You will have to use a PayPal account or a credit card to register the domain name. Then, once you own that domain, it's time to host that domain using a domain hosting service.
You can also search google for godaddy coupon codes. You will save about 30% for every domain name. This can be good if you're going to order bulk domains.
