Buy a domain name: the steps to follow

If you plan to create a blog, online store or website, you will need to purchase a domain name. But what is a domain name and how to buy it?

What is a domain name?

A domain name is essential when creating a website (blog, online store, etc.). Like an address, it allows Internet users to access the content of a website. This is the name that users type into their search bar.

Websites have a base IP address. This address acts as a GPS for the website, indicating its location, i.e. the hosting (server) of the website. Since an IP address is made up of several numbers, it is easier to search for a website using domain names rather than entering a series of numbers.

To convert these IP addresses into domain names, there is the Domain Name System (DNS): when you enter the domain name of a site, you are actually redirected to its IP address.

How do domain names work?

As mentioned earlier, domain names are essentially online website addresses. They are composed as follows:

A prefix: www.
The chosen name (a sequence of characters)
An extension (top level domain) such as a country (.fr for France), a “generic” extension linked to the sector of activity (.org, .net, .info…) or even extensions of specific domain names (.best).

How to buy a domain name?

To buy a domain name, you generally just need to go to a web host’s website. It is important to ensure that the domain name you wish to purchase does not violate intellectual property or personality rights, moral standards and public order, and that it cannot be confused with a public body . The domain name should be easy to remember and relevant. The extension should be tailored to your industry or target audience.

Steps to follow to buy a domain name with hosting

If you want to create or purchase a domain name, you can do so through a domain registrar (most hosting providers offer this service), then register it with a hosting provider using the procedure below:

Check the availability of a domain name

You can check the availability of a domain name by simply typing it into the search bar or by using a domain availability checker tool.

Buy your domain name

The price of a domain name depends on several factors, such as privacy protection options, the chosen domain (with its extension), the chosen registrar, with or without subscription, etc. Prices can vary from €10 to €15 per year, but with certain options, they can exceed €5,000 per year. The purchase is made from a web host.

Register the domain name with the host

Once you have purchased your domain name, you must register it with a registrar or registrar. The host, such as Hostinger, PlanetHoster, etc., must be accredited by ICANN (globally) or AFNIC (in France): these organizations are responsible for coordinating digital spaces on the Internet. Some hosting providers, like Hostinger, offer a free domain name for a year. The host will also guarantee protection for your domain name.

Checking domain name ownership

You will need to verify that you are the owner of your domain name, either by consulting the whois (a service which allows you to find all the information about a domain name), or by responding to a verification email sent by the host. Ownership of a domain name has a limited duration (from 1 to 10 years), depending on its extension.
