How to register a domain name ?
Hello. My name is Aekta.
What is a domain name ?
A domain name helps us reach an IP address.
If I say Rashtrapati Bhawan , you will understand that I mean Prakash Vir Shastri Avenue New Delhi.
If I give you an IP address , you may possibly not remember it .
If I tell you my domain name - KyaKaise.com , you will be easily able to reach my web address.
A domain name helps you to reach a website without knowing the IP address.
How many kinds of domain names are there?
The main top level domain names are .com for companies, .net fot network , .org for organizations
.edu for schools or colleges & .gov for government websites.
In India you will also find domain names ending in .co.in & .in as well.
It is important that you choose a good domain name for your website.
Choose a domain name that is short & easy to remember
Which has some originality & is easy to spell.
Let's see how to register a domain name .
There are a no. of websites where you can register a domain name.
In this video I will tell you about Go Daddy.
There is a link in the description of this video below.
Click on this to go to Go Daddy.
The Go Daddy site is open .
If you are coming here for the first time you will need to register & create a new account here.

Click on Create My Account .
Fill the various fields.

Choose a password.
It is telling us that the password should be 9 characters long and must contain an upper case letter & no.
Let's choose a new password.
Now you need to choose a 4 digit call in PIN.
If you need to call customer service for any issues you will need to give them the 4 digit PIN.
It is asking you not to choose a sequential PIN such as 1234 or 1111.
Choose a PIN which is easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess.
Let's choose a PIN
Choose a PIN & click on Create Account.
Now I am inside the Go Daddy site.
There is an alert & it is asking me to update my profile in 30 secs.
