How do I get my own domain name such as www.mybusiness.com?

There are a few simple steps involved in getting your company's name on the web.

For a domain to be functional it has to be hosted on a server connected to an Internet backbone and then registered with the appropriate authority.

1) You need a company that will host the domain, like DomainMasters.NET. There are varying degrees and prices at which companies will host your domain.

A - Many companies, including ours, will reserve your domain for free. This means the domain will point to a page that says under construction. Thousands of other domains will point to that same page. Your domain will be reserved in your company's name but you will not have email and you cannot customize any of the pages that appear when your domain name is entered in a browser.

B - Some companies, not ours, will offer email only services but without any web pages for a low monthly fee. But if you're going to have your company name in an email address you should have at least some basic pages about your company.

C - Most commonly, companies and individuals want their domain name with email and web pages. We offer both at very reasonable prices. We are the only company to give you email and web pages with your own domain with such a low monthly fee.

2) Each country has an organization that administers the domain names corresponding to that country. For example, Network Solutions manages all domains ending in .com, .net, or .org. The organization may require a fee from you when you register your domain with them. When you complete our signup form, our automated system will complete a registration form that you can use to register your domain with the corresponding country. Our form works only with the commonly used extensions.

3) Content - After your site is hosted and registered it is time to add content so that when someone visits your site there are pages to see and email addresses to write to. Creating email addresses is very easy to do with our full feature control panel.

For the creation of pages, we suggest you use our Site Creation tool, buy a site creation program from a computer store, or hire someone on our staff to build a dynamic site for you.
