Is your name available?

The first step in purchasing your website domain name is determining if the name is available.  Obviously visiting the address you want will show if there is a page there or not.  If you find a “Parked Page” that indicates someone owns the name, a visit to  WHOIS will tell you who has purchased it. You may be able to purchase the domain name through a bargaining process.  Otherwise, pick a new name and search again.

After you determine the name, visit a name reseller, such as GoDaddy, to purchase your name.
