Do It Myself

Registering a Domain Name is relatively easy for anyone to do. But it will cost you some money ($70 for a two year registration, slightly more to reserve a Domain Name). Or maybe it won't cost you any money. We'll explain the "no money" deal in a minute.

Follow these steps to register a Domain Name:

1.	Find a registration company. We'll help you if you read on!

2.	Search for a unique Domain Name using the on-line forms at the registration company.

3.	At the end of the form completion process you'll need a credit card to pay the registration fee.

Before you do anything, read this...........

You are required by law to record (with the Domain Name registration company) information associated with the person and/or company performing the registration. The information you record is publicly available. The laws governing the registration of a Domain Name specifically require that the registrant's information must be publicly available. You will be asked for name, mail address, telephone and e-mail address. While companies performing the registration process generally will not divulge your information (see each company's Privacy Statement for further information) the information you record is available to the world through the WHOIS system.

The WHOIS system is mined by target marketers for information to enable them to send junk mail (both e-mail and USPS mail). If you are concerned about your privacy, don't register your Domain Name yourself. Use a third party, like El Valle, and execute a contract with the third party stipulating the ownership of the Domain Name. That way your privacy won't be disturbed and you'll still retain ownership in your Domain Name.
