Registrars
In the Internet world, a domain name registrar is a company accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) or by a national ccTLD authority to register Internet domain names. In many cases, the registrar provides hosting services, so the distinction of a registrar is not important. However, some people choose to register their domains through a registrar and host the domain through a separate hosting service.
Shout Domains has chosen to display three registrars which are the largest or provide the best service. The following list includes the larger registrars and some of our favorites.
- 1and1
- Go Daddy
- Moniker
- Name.com
- Network Solutions
- Register
- Wild West Domains
- Yahoo
- Dotster
- Directnic
When selecting a registrar, be aware of the following:
- some offer free email acconts
- some offer free private domain registration
- some offer discounts for multi-year registrations
- do they host?
