It’s simple! We promise.
Every business needs a website, right? This is your way of establishing an online presence for yourself and/or your business. One of the very first steps is registering a domain name. A domain name is an address where your website can be found on the internet. TheBusinessPantry.com is our domain name. It directs people straight to our website. You can’t buy just any domain, of course—only one that isn’t already registered by another person or business. Also, choose something short and catchy, to make it easier for people to remember you.
List of Domain Name Registrars

Lastly
Don’t forget renewing! You will need to renew your domain name in a year, two years, or longer. It’s crucial you remember to do so – otherwise, your domain name will go offline. If you wait too long, the domain name will go back up for sale and somebody else can buy it – not good for you!
