Answer» I have a question. If, to register a URL, you have to go through an online COMPANY, how do they register a URL?
Say I want to register www.myname.com.
Site "X" says I can do this with them.
But how do they do it?They buy it from the entity that administrates the TLD (Top-level domain) in question. The different TLDs are administrated by various COMPANIES and non-profit organizations. VeriSign is the administrator for the .com TLD for example.So say I wanted to buy it, how do I contact this VeriSign? Is it cheaper than going through one of the other ones?You can't without being a domain registrar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_registrars#Designated_registrarI read a few online ARTICLES about it, and I understand it a bit more now, so THATS good. Thanks
