Dear webmasters!

I hope you all are fine and in good health.

I want to buy the domain [snipped url] which is available to register (ustaad is a word in urdu language which means master/teacher, therefore webmaster means webustaad in urdu )As most of my site will be in urdu, I want to buy this domain.

Can you guide me step by step how and where to register? Which services are popular for registering a domain? How can I make my email address on this domain.

Note : I dont have any web space.

[no specifics please]

ustaad ji,

no offence, and I am sure members will be glad to point you in the right direction.

however do you NOT think the name suggests you are the master of the web, and could lead to a false sense of security from a clients point of view.

I say this as you must be pretty new to the web if as a webmaster you need explaining on email set-up, domain names and have NO hosting.

I apologise in advance if you think I am wrong (and I quite often am),

just a thought.

Shak

The easiest way is to find a domain registrar with your credit card handy and follow the instructions. Type "register domain name" into Google and you'll get a huge list of places to buy from.

You don't need to have any hosting - a basic package will just show a temporary page until you are ready to buy a hosting package.
