How to Buy a Domain (Step-by-Step Domain Name Registration Process)
Your domain name is the heart of your website. It determines how readers find your site and even influences search engine results. Just think about how much traffic a fan website with the domain EldenRing.com gets versus EldenRingFans.com.
There are several steps involved in purchasing a domain name, but once you own it, you can keep it for as long as you like (although annual renewal fees may apply). If you secure a particularly valuable domain name, you can sell it later to someone willing to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
The Internet is a collection of different domain names. All of your favorite sites – Reddit.com, ESPN.com, even Online-Tech-Tips.com – have a domain name. Domain names are divided into different types and categories, but there are two main types: top-level domains (TLD) and secondary-level domains.
