One of the main tasks of creating a website is to complete the domain name registration. In fact, domain name registration is just like online payment. We choose our own domain name, add it to the shopping cart, and then complete the payment. The general process is that simple. However, we may need to know the price of domestic and foreign domain names before purchasing them, which can be referred to Domain name price comparison tool 。 After that, we also need to choose a domain name registrar (details: domestic ， abroad ）。 Domain name registration follows the principle of "first apply, first register". The domain name after each registration is unique and cannot be repeated. As a limited resource, domain names have been paid more and more attention by enterprises. Prompt for domain name registration:
- The domain name to be registered;
- Name and contact information of domain name owner (including address, contact email, telephone number, etc.);
- Domain name registration period;
- Payment information.
WHOIS domain name query
WHOIS is an indispensable information service in the current domain name system, and also an important tool for us to query domain name ownership after registering a domain name. The information that can be queried in WHOIS includes domain name ownership, registration date, expiration time, and domain name server. Details can be viewed Whois information query 。

Domain name registration price and renewal price
The prices offered by different domain name registrars at home and abroad are different. If our domain name was registered for one year before and now needs to continue to be used, we need to apply to the relevant domain name registrar for domain name renewal. The domain name renewal process is very simple. Just contact the domain name registrar and pay the relevant fees regularly. In fact, if we need to use the domain name for a long time, we can register the domain name for many years at one time. After the domain name expires, its ownership does not belong to the previous owner. The specific cost of domain name extension is also determined according to different domain name providers, for example: Meicheng Internet The domain name of. com is 55 yuan in the first year of registration, and 78 yuan per year after renewal. The registration price and renewal price of. com domain names of some domestic and foreign domain name registrars are listed below for reference only. Price of foreign domain name:
- GoDaddy : $12.99 for the first year, $13.99 for renewal
- Namecheap : $10.69 for the first year, $10.69 for renewal
- Networksolutions : $34.99 for the first year, $34.99 for renewal
Domestic domain name price:
Backordering
Sometimes when we register a domain name, we find that the domain name has been registered or is in use. At this time, we can backorder the domain name, so that the domain name can be directly attributed to you after it expires in the hands of the previous domain name holder. This is also one of the main methods to prevent the domain name from being snapped up again. The domain name Backordering also follows the principle of first come, first served, that is, whoever backorders first can own it. Backordering fees for domain names are also determined by different registrars. For example, GoDaddy's domain name preemption fees are $20.98 per registrar. It also provides free traffic monitoring, one-year membership and other services.
Pre-Register
With the development of the Internet, more and more new generic top-level domain names (gTLDs) are emerging. Sometimes we want to register these new universal top-level domains, and then we can pre register these domains. At present, many domain name registrars at home and abroad provide this service, such as: GoDaddy 、 1&1 Etc. Pre Register domain names may require a small fee at the domain name registrar, but some domain name registrars do not charge for this. For example, when booking domain names at 1&1, no fee is charged, but the registrar does not sell products in China at present.
Domain name expires
Although a large number of domain names are registered every day, a large number of domain names become available due to expiration. There are many reasons for domain name expiration. Maybe the domain name owner forgot to renew it, or the domain name owner no longer needs to change the domain name. Some people may think that expired domain names have little use value. In fact, expired domain names are very conducive to reverse links and search engine optimization when they are reused. Sometimes, an expired domain name can even create more value than a new one.
Domain name auction
Domain name auction refers to the sale of domain names that have been registered and can be used by some domain name holders on forums or related platforms. Usually these domain names are good and have potential value, but the price of domain names sold in this way will be much higher than the price of domain names purchased from domain name registrars. The price of domain name auction is related to many factors, such as the domain name market, the domain name structure and the economic development at that time.
In a word, there are many ways we can obtain domain names. The most important thing is to think about the value that the domain name can create for us, whether it can make people remember immediately, whether it is conducive to search engines, etc. Domain name registration is one of the important steps in the process of building our website. Having a good domain name will bring more potential value to our website.
