scrubzz Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I have a question for some of you web gurusI am not quite ready to start a site but have a name that I want to register for future useI have not researched fully which host I would use when the time comes but I want to go ahead and register my domain name - to insure I will have it when I am readyUnless I am mistaken, some places will register the name but technically they own it not you - as long as you are letting them host your site you are ok - but if you go with someone else there can be a problemI guess my question is this - Where can I register my name so that it is mine and I have it when I am ready for it?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use godaddy for all our own domains as well as the majority of our clients. I have several domains there now that I've registered a few years back and am just waiting for the time to make the sites to go w/them.You should have no trouble registering whatever domain you want now for use later. If you run into a registrar that tells you otherwise, go somewhere else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southern.scents Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I agree, GoDaddy is the way to go. Their site is very busy and it has way too many ads but their prices are good and their DNS system updates quicker than most any other registrar. Before buying, go to ask.com and seach for GoDaddy Coupons. You can normally save yourself a few dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMary Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Another for godaddy.com for just registering. When and if the time comes you need a host, you'll set the domain to point to the host's server.I use www.retailmenot.com for all my online coupons.For godaddy.com:http://www.retailmenot.com/view/godaddy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bugtussle Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I agree, register with GoDaddy. I have several names which I've registered and not doing anything with yet. Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
