Go to a domain registrar and register one. The point its DNS record to a web host and you are good to go. Everything takes about 24 to 48 hours. Here's my domain: http://adeydas.com

I don't know about the billing stuff, but when you go to register a domain name, there are people watching the servers to see what domain names are being searched to see if the available. When one shows available, they hurry up and register that name theirselves and when you got to pay and claim the domain, lo and behold, it is taken. That way, you have to contact the owner of the domain you originally wanted and buy it off of them. They charge an arm and a leg. So by buying domain names for next to nothing and selling them for a lot more, it is their way of making money. Its all a big scam.

There is no service that provides free domain names. Some companies will include a free domain name when you pay monthly for server space, but that's not really free.

The naming of your business could be one of the most important decisions you will make. A name's originality and legal availability will create a real asset value of its own, as it becomes marketed and gains market acceptance. \n\nThe name you choose will become the focal point of all the benefits and features that relate to your business. Customers will be able to find and refer others to it in the future. \n\nSince any names that are suggested here may already be owned by another party, I wanted to go a different route...\n\nI suggest either hiring a name creation firm or get together with your friends and/or family and throw a "name party" & have everyone bounce some ideas around. Compile a listing of names that you like the best. Once you have that list, do as much free research as you can before you delve into comprehensive research. \n\nI listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. \n\nOnly comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. \n\nThere are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up.\n\nHope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Depends what you mean by "Register". Do you mean you want to open business named SEX (standing for Safe Effective Xrays), or do you want to Trademark SEX (meaning Safe Effective Xrays)?\n\nIn either case, it is unlikely that you will be able to simply register SEX.  You might be able to open a business named "SEX Safe Effective Xrays", or even trademark "SEX Safe Effective Xrays", but not SEX alone (unless maybe it was a very stylized logo, but even then you'd have a very tough time.\n\nAlso, registering a trademark is not like parking a domain. You have to demonstrate that you are actually using it in business and that it is uniquely identified with your product or service. There is something called "intent to use in commerce" but then you'd have to prove that you are, in fact, using it commerce within 12 months I believe.

You can go to any domain registrar and check for the availability of a domain.  If the domain is not available, most will offer suggestions of alternative options.  Network Solutions is good but very expensive for registration.  You can find cheaper domain registration through:\n\nGoDaddy - http://www.godaddy.com\nYahoo (limited to certain domain suffixes) - http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/domains/

You can use a third party such as register.com. I don't know what sort of fees they collect but it may be free when use them to reregister that domain name.\n\nSearch for the domain name and look into the "Make an offer" option.

A parked website, also called Domain parking lets you cheaply reserve a domain name for future use and display an "under construction" default page on it.  You can register a domain and not park it anywhere but then your site will be simply inaccessible until you get a web host.  Some registrar let you park your domain for free.

Most webhosting providers will give you the domain name for free if you sign up for 1 year. So pick a good hosting provider and just use them.

You are not required to form a business to register a domain. If a registrar tells you otherwise, then go to another registrar.\n\nOn the other hand, if you're going to be doing freelance, you may want to consider forming a business for tax reasons, but that has nothing to do with registering a domain.

Usually you can't. Because I don't know any registrar that would give up a domain name for so long time. You need to find out where you got the domain from first place and see if it's still yours. If it is all you have to do is create some dns server and make them known to your registrar.
