A big question, for most new webmasters.

Is, Where should I buy a Domain Name?

This post was created for those who don’t know, where to buy domain names.

I buy all my domain names through www.1and1.com.

They charge $6.12/Year for .com, .net, etc. Domain Names.

I choose www.1and1.com because they offer ‘Free Private Domain Registration’. What is this, exactly?

Private Domain Registration makes it so my Personal Information Details aren’t shown when someone does a Who Is Search on my Domain Name. The information that is shown is 1and1.com’s business information when people search on the Whois.php.

Search using WHOIS Look Up. <CLICK HERE>

What is Who is? Whois.php? WhoIs allows you to search the Domain Registration Owner Details. By searching for them, if they are not set to Private Domain Registration. It will show their Home Address or PO Box Address.

So Other’s don’t see you and spy.

You would use Private Domain Registration on your domains so your Personal Information isn’t searchable through Who Is.
