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.

Ping can be used to see if another server is running or to measure the distance to another servers. It is short for Packet Internet Groper. A utility that forwards data packets to check the quality of a link or verify the connection of a machine to the Internet.\n\nThe domain name system (DNS) is the way that Internet domain names are located and translated into IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. A domain name is a meaningful and easy-to-remember "handle" for an Internet address. Because maintaining a central list of domain name/IP address correspondences would be impractical, the lists of domain names and IP addresses are distributed throughout the Internet in a hierarchy of authority.\n\nwhile\n\nA DSN stores the data source information necessary for the Driver Manager to connect to the database. This can be configured either through the ODBC Administrator or in a DSN file. On Windows, the information is called a system or user DSN and is stored in the Registry. Data source information can also be stored in text configuration files, as is the case on UNIX.

The domain names extensions are not given out for commercial use, but each country has been given its own name and some are willing to sell them. However, if the extension you're looking for doesn't belong to some small country, you're out of luck. Sorry.

First, one needs to understand that every computer connected to the Internet has an IP address.  Some are private (i.e. they only work within a private network.) Others are public.  In case it's not obvious, a Web site would use a public IP address.\n\nThe domain name that you are used to using to access most Web sites is actually a mask of sorts.  The Domain Name System - as it is known - translates the more user friendly domain name into an IP address by looking up the name in one of the thousands (if not millions) of domain name servers around the world.  Based on a complex series of relationships between the servers, a domain name for a server hosted accross the world can be retrieved in fractions of a second.\n\nSo when you type in a domain in your browser, your browser sends a lookup request to the domain name server provided by your company or ISP.  This domain name server returns the IP address for that domain to your browser so that it can pass the request on to the Web site's server.\n\nSo to get to your question, "IP websites" work because the browser is directly addressing the server without the overhead of looking up the domain name.

====================================\n\nActually .... \n\nIt depends on whether you plan to host a web site or not.\nIf you plan to have a web site, then there are several good\nhosting companies that will include FREE domain registration.\n\nIf you just want to register domain ... you really need to\ndo a search.  So many companies offer specials that unless\nyou check their site you'll not know about them.\n\nA word of caution ... read the fine print.  Just because you\ncan register it for a low fee doesn't mean that there aren't\nstrings attached.\n\n-------------------------------

HTTP is Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol which is the prefix to identify the type of resource you're about to access.  When you enter an address in a browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox, it usually "knows" that this is the type of resource you're trying to access and will fill it in for you automagically if you don't type the "http://".\n\nwww stands for "world wide web".  It is the subdomain portion of an that is the prefix to an actual Internet domain name.  Again, this prefix is usually not necessary and as a matter of fact, sometimes isn't used at all (for example, try typing in "http://notepad.yahoo.com" and then try adding the www as in "http://www.notepad.yahoo.com" and note how the latter doesn't actually work).\n\n.com is a top-level domain and probably the most popular amongst other existing and emerging top-level domains (like .org, .biz, .us).

Well, you can get domain names anywhere that sells them.  You have to think of the domain yourself then buy it if it's not taken.\n\nTry 1and1.com http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Home;jsessionid=B455E35625E8866CF03193896213BC16.TC60a?__frame=_top&__lf=Order\n\nSearch for your domains here http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/Instant;jsessionid=B455E35625E8866CF03193896213BC16.TC60a?__frame=_top&__lf=Static

Searching for domain name owners is called a "whois" search in Internet parlance.\n\nGo to the "Whois" link below and enter the domain name of interest there.

Even if we say a domain -that good- here, someone could just go and buy it before you. So this is pointless. But if you want, I can recommend; "zoodler", "famperizer", "whattadoyou", "nazarated".

you have to set up a domain for your computers, a domain is kinda like your own home network of computer, for information on how to setup a domain go to the Microsoft knowledge base or to the knowledge base of the company that made the router, then you can ass or remove as many computers to your domain as you want, and they will all be accessible to you via mynetworkplaces icon.

i believe that web hosting registration is where you pay to have your website hosted (ie. put your HTML pages or other files) \n\nDomain Registration is where you register your TDL (top level domain) name like somename.com or mypage.net.\n\nif you want to run a website for free, there are some places that do hostin for free, and they will give you a free domain name, but its usually a subdomain name like yourusername.freewebhostname.com\n\nor something longer. the reason to go and pay for a domain name is for people to remember easier, and less to type. Remember people are so lazy, that they rather type less and get more. thats why there are more dynamic sites, because people want more and do less. \n\nhope that answers your question\n\n.Indigo.

It is owned by a bulk domain company - those who engages in buying and selling domain names. \n\nReferral URL: http://www.bulkregister.com\n\nThe thing with bulk domain registrars is that you have to be willing to shell out more money when buying a domain. Unlike Godaddy.com where you can buy domain names for $8.99, when you are buying it from a bulkregister.com, you'll have to make an offer. If you really want it, be prepared to pay no less than $500 (even thousands of dollars)

It's all about DNS entries. When a domain name is setup, names like WWW, mail, POP and such will get defined separately. If nothing is defined for www.xyz.com the DNS server will not know where to send the traffic for it. So if it finds an entry for XYZ.com, it will send the traffic there hoping for the server to know what to do.\nTypically when http traffic gets to a server, it will be forwarded to a gate 80.\nWhen you type xyz.com in your browser, your computer send a request looking for the server responsible for http traffic for that domain. When you get no response it is because either the DNS entries are not correct or there is no default http server for that domain. If you type in www.zyx.com and get the site, that means the DNS server was setup to know www.xyz.com but doesn’t know what to do with and requests that only asks for xyz.com.
