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 depends on the DNS name of the site you are connecting to. Some sites alias www.site.com and site.com... so either address would work. However, if the site only registers www.site.com, then site.com won't work.\n\nSo, it all depends on what the owner of the site registered as their DNS name.\n\nCheers :)

There are thousands of providers that will be more then happy to register a domain for you for a fee. They same  companies will also tell you the name you want for your domain is already taken, will suggest alternatives or will bid for a name for you. All of this happens on the web i.e. you don't have to call anybody.\nFor example, you can just go to www.register.com and type in the name you want to get. From there, just follow the prompts ...

since you bought a domain then you have done part of your job the next thing is buying a host.\n\nFrom your question it seems as if this is your first time hosting a website. \n\nI will give you a professional and personal advice free.\n\nWhenever you want to host a website it is advisable that you buy the website hosting package as most package often include free or paid domain. \n\nBuying a domain and then later paying a website hosting package is a waste of money.\n\n\n\nIf you need more free professional advice  on Computer and the Internet then visit\n\nwww.freewebs.com/zion23401 \nor email\nalexzubi@aol.com

"Your choice: Put your domain up for sale at its own address or tell the world your site's "coming soon"\n\nSince they register domain names, presumably you can "store" a domain on their servers  until you have the website completed and ready to upload to a host you have leased space from, or, until you sell it  - which they will apparently allow you to use the parked domain as a "domain for sale" site as they say "Put your domain up for sale at its own address".

You do not have to register a domain.  You can host a web page and have other's get to it by entering your IP in their browser.\n\nSounds like you already have this part covered, but...You can download and install a web server.\ngo to http://softpedia.com and search for "webserver".  there are hundreds of free webservers there and other places.\n\nYou can get a sub-domian for free at http://www.dyndns.com/. There are lots of instructions there.  Your address will be something like [yourpage].dyndns.com.\n\nOr, you can register a domain.  I recommend godaddy.com because they include free DNS and they are cheap (under $8/yr).  DNS is what you need o host a page on your site and have a domain point to it.  It basically translates your domain name (yourpage.com) into your IP address (123.123.123.123).  \n\nYou will still probably want to use dyndns.com's free Dynamic DNS serice unless you have a permanent static address from your internet provider.

web hosting and domain names are completely different, you can register your own domain for $5 if you want to, then you need hosting, just search yahoo for web hosting and find a cheap plan.

Sorry to dissapoint you but there's no such thing.  Every domain name registration costs money and no-one is going to pay so that you can register your own domain name.\n\nEven if you accept that you're not getting your own domain name you're asking an awful lot.  A lot of free sites are HTML only and a lot don't offer 55MB webspace.  In most cases the bandwidth wouldn't be a problem but 500MB is a tiny amount of bandwidth - it's about 15MB a day; if you're talking 500MB a day then that's going to eliminate a lot of free hosts.\n\nHere's a reply I gave to a similar question...\n\nThere's several places you can get a free website including from Yahoo (their service is called Geocities).\n\nIf you're serious about creating a website and want one that looks professional then I wouldn't consider a free site, there are many paid for sites that need only cost you a few dollars a month.\n\nHere's some of the things to consider about free sites...\n\n-- 1 --\nYou're often restricted in the type of files you can have, some sites don't allow MP3's or video files for example.\n\n-- 2 --\nThere's usually a bandwidth limit (this is the amount of data that's downloaded).  It normally doesn't take long to reach the bandwidth limit and when this happens the site becomes unavailable - you've probably come across such sites yourself.  The bandwidth limit is often hourly and also monthly.  If you hit your hourly limit your site will be down for about an hour but if you hit your monthly limit if could be down for days or even weeks.\n\n-- 3 --\nMost free sites have a limit to the amount of space you have to store your site.  Large files such as music and video will very quickly fill the space.  Simple text pages don't use much space but when you start adding a few graphics this can soon add up.\n\n-- 4 --\nThere's rarely any technical support with free sites other than user forums.  If something goes wrong it's up to you to sort it out.\n\n-- 5 --\nSome copmpanies that provide free sites are 'here today and gone tomorrow' - just what you need if you've spent ages designing a nice site.  Others are initially free but then state you have to pay or your site will be deleted.  To avoid this stick with the well known and established names such as Tripod/Lycos and Yahoo/Geocities.\n\n-- 6 --\nFree sites are often limited in what you can do, a lot won't support PSP or MySql, some don't even support Java.  Could mean that features such as forums, blogs, guestbooks etc aren't possible on your site.\n\n-- 7 --\nA free site has to pay for itself somehow, no company is going to give away webspace without getting something in return.  One common practice is to place adverts on your site.  Sometimes these ads are themed and related to your site but other times they're completely unrelated.\n\n-- 8 --\nOften the site isn't transferable except to a paid for service provided by the same company.  This can be a serious problem if your site becomes popular and you need to move it somewhere that can accomodate your growing needs.\n\n-- 9 --\nOften any extras are hugely expensive, if for example you want to buy more data transfer (bandwidth) you could easily be paying $1 per GB.  It might not sound a lot but if you're also paying for more web storage space and access to certain tools it will work out far more expensive than having a paid-for site.\n\n-- 10 --\nYou won't get your own domain name so instead of having xyzcompany.com you'll have something like freewebhostingcompany/xyzcompany.com.\n\n-- FREE SITES --\nIf you still want a free website then this page here... http://www.free-webhosts.com/search-webhosts.php is an excellent resource as it compares no less than 545 different free webhosts complete with reviews and user comments for each one.\n\nHere's some links to the 4 most popular free webhosts...\n\nLycos Tripod (CNet

Then go back to Yahoo.\nYou could also go to godaddy - they do registrations without selling you a site ($6 to $9 us per year). I have a bunch of domains with them and never had a problem.\nhttp://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp

www.atspace.com no banners, no ads. They can even host your domain. \n\n.com only, no localised domain

Check out GoDaddy.com\n\nYou can also check out some options for hosting w/ domain name included. They'll cost a bit more, but you might find a bargain.

Check with the company that you used to register your domain how long it will take to be activated.\n\nto check to see if it is working, just type your URL into the browser address and see if it comes up.

It's up to the webmaster. The domain name (like yahoo.com or netscape.net) is the 'root' of the website; any URL with something that appears before the domain name is subsidiary to the domain name. Since domain names can be used for a variety of purposes (such as mail, file transfer, etc.) www. is generally used to denote a >>web page<< that is part of the domain... but it's not a requirement, as any browser can easily determine whether what it's reading is a web page or not, no matter what it's named.
