Question: How do I register my own domain name?
Answer:
Domain name is what users type in their browser to come to your site. When you create a website, you specify a one-word site name. Although there are exceptions, this one-word name usually becomes part of your domain name. For example, if you specified JohnPhotography as the site name, user can typehttp://JohnPhotography.10MinutesWeb.com
in their browser to get to your site.
Once you register a domain users can get to your site by typing:
http://JohnPhotography.com OR
http://www.JohnPhotography.com
