Your domain name possesses 2 parts - the Second-Level Domain, which is the actual web site name that you can pick, plus the Top-Level Domain, that's the extension - .com, .net, .org and so on. You're able to register your new domain name from any sort of registrar or transfer an existing domain between registrars in a couple of simple steps.

In addition to the universal Top-Level Domains, there're country-code ones as well. A number of them can be registered by anybody, while some others need regional presence or a business license.
