Domain Names and Registration
Welcome To Breakroom News.com
There's still time to get your name registered.  Try one of our sponsors to see if your name
is already taken.

If you are new to the internet then you may not realize that the web address you type into your
browser is known as a domain name. A domain name is an easy way for humans to understand
and navigate the internet.

If you have a web site or are thinking about getting a
domain name, you should seriously
consider registering your own domain name. A domain name is a name like "mysite.com" or
"breakroomnews.com", which you can use to refer to your website.
You do not have to be a
company or organization to register a domain name. Any individual can do it too.





Getting a domain name involves registering the name you want with a domain name registrar.
For example, if you choose a name like "mycompanyname.com", you will have to go to a
registrar, pay a registration fee that ranges between $4 to $35 for that name. That will give you
the right to the name for a year, and you will have to renew it annually.  Some web hosts will
register it and pay for the name for free, while others will do it for you but you'll have to pay a
service fee.

Domain names disappear extremely fast. Many people claim that all the good domain names
are gone. I doubt that - but it is probably true that most good domain names that are descriptive
of products and services have been taken. If you want a domain name for your site, I suggest
you act now, or face the anguish of having lost that name later. After all, $35 (the price charged
by the most expensive registrars) for a year's ownership of the name is pretty cheap when you
realize that you're cornering a good name for yourself.
