I recently registered a domain name, but my site is hosted with a different provider. How do I make my domain name reach my actual site?
You have to goto the site where you have your domain name registered though and have them redirect it to your actual site where its hosted at

Why do i have to pay 10 dollars per year at yahoo and 3 dollars at some other company, for a domain name? It’s just the domain name right? i’m not talking about email or hosting services. When you register a domain name www.something.com You get the same thing at every company, right? so what does it matter if i get it at yahoo or at whatever place else?
Also, is it maybe so that you can’t get email and hosting at a registrar if you didn’t get the domain name from them?
Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, refer to:

GoldPuma is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99 /year). They offer free extras with every domain name:

Good Luck!

I want to buy a certain domain name to put up a website. The domain name isn’t used, but it unavailable. How do i find out who owns it?
To find the owner of any domain, the first step is to go to a whois site.
1) http://www.whois.net
2) Input the domain in the ‘WHOIS Lookup’ section
3) You will generally see the owner of the domain under ‘Registrant’,'Administrative Contact’, or ‘Technical Contact’.
*Sometimes domain owners have hidden their names by purchasing extra privacy options. In a case like this, they generally will have a made up name and company, BUT you will see a masked email address. This masked email address will not be the owners actual email address, but will forward to the owner.
If you need additional help or questions please feel free to contact me as I own a domain company and work with similar matters often.

I am planning on starting a social networking site of sorts(no more info is needed) I need to find a way to buy an unused domain name, and I need web hosting provider that will work with me on the high traffic of the site…I would love to keep the price low for starters.
Did you know some of the best web hosting companies give you a free domain when you buy their affordable web hosting package? Since you need a lot of transfer space / bandwidth why not go with unlimited bandwidth?
On today’s market there are literally thousands of web hosting providers. Choosing a web host is not so easy task. Once committed to one, it will become very difficult to move your business elsewhere – not to mention the damage that can be done to your business if you make the wrong choice. This makes it very important to “get it right the first time”. Find out as much as you can about your prospective web host before making any decisions.
The perfect web hosting directory (I use it myself) to get an idea of what web hosting companies are the most popular, the most successful, or even the most affordable is http://www.web-host-rankings.com – All the top 10 give you a free domain and offer unlimited bandwidth.
This web hosting directory incorporates in-depth research, first-hand experience, and analysis of comprehensive consumer reviews to rank your top web hosting options.
Also, make sure you get the best deals (extremely important if you are on a budget). You can find web hosting coupons and promo codes that will save you a lot of money when you purchase your web hosting package, the website is http://www.mywebhostingcoupons.com
And finally, while doing your research, make sure that you are using credible websites, be on the look out for scams.
Good luck,

How do major websites get domain names without going through a web hosting company? Why can’t you just own the name without paying a yearly fee?
http://www.godaddy.com GoDaddy has domain names for $9.99 per year. One of the lowest out there that has the reputation and that I would recommend. They do free hosting as well.
(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) has overall responsibility for managing the DNS. It controls the root domain, delegating control over each top-level domain to a domain name registry.
Domain names which are theoretically leased can be considered in the same way as real estate, due to a significant impact on online brand building, advertising, search engine optimization, etc.
One of the reasons for the value of domain names is that even without advertising or marketing, they attract clients seeking services and products who simply type in the generic name.

In my job, I’ve inherited responsibility for a website that was set-up long before I started working here. There are no records as to who the domain name is registered with and what the domain’s passwords, etc, are. We’re about to shift to a new hosting company and I need to know this info – how can I find out? Thanks
very simple .. Just type this in your browser and press enter

I own a company and the domain name is already taken and used by another company that only uses it to redirect people to there main site. So they dont even need it. I contacted them and they are willing to sell me the domain name. She told me to make her an offer and I am trying to figure out a ballpark figure to offer her. Please be realistic. Thanks.
You can have the domain name valued at GoDaddy.com. I would take that value and divide it in half (because all of the values I have seen are way too high).
They are an online domain auction site and they track going rates on domain names based on factors including search popularity, international recognition, etc.

I have a very catchy domain name, and a hosting server laying around for about a year now. I want to start some type of online business, but I’m only sixteen. What I want to start is a business that will get me some money in my pockets, not a billionaire. What are some good ideas I should start? I’ve tried selling my things on ebay, but that’s not really what I want to do. I want to provide a service, or anything on my website to make money.
There are various types of online business. Find out from the link below. I have happened to come across it and hope that it will be helpful to you.

Need to know what to do about website. Hosting company has closed down with no warning. What happens now? Is the website and domain name lost?
Hello,
First check at http://www.whois.sc following:
1. Name of ICANN Registrar
2. Details in Admin Contact details
If admin contact details are yours, then approach Registrar directly and ask them to provide you control panel. They will help you for gain control on domain name.
If admin details are not yours, then it is bit difficult for you to prove that domain is owned by you.
Still contact registrar and ask if they can help you in this matter. They may ask you to provide few legal documentation and some other proof to give you the control of domain.
Regards,
Vinay

I already know how to configure a local host. I got a domain name, and want to display my local website on the web when the domain name is typed in. Thanks very much.
You should have name servers and point those name servers from your domain so that your website can be visible. Use any ftp program to upload your website to hosting server.
