Re: Domain

Well, as for domain, what it is: (in easy terms)

Its like GS is hosted at this domain www.paklinks.com
So paklinks is the domain. Previously is was www.gupistan.com so, then the domain was gupistan

Hope it is clear for you now :slight_smile:

You can register a domain for a small regsiteration fee of around €10-15,-

Where do you live?
I can post a list of companies and providers who can register a domain name for you. If you tell me whats you location.

Re: Domain

in the simplest of words, a domain name is the unique name that identifies an Internet site - e.g. “gupshup.org”.

In order to reserve a domain name,

  1. you gotta check its availability:
    you can use the “WhoIs” service for this… e.g. try it here: ICANN Lookup

  2. you gotta choose an accredited domain name registrar (there are tons!)… full list here:
    List of Accredited Registrars

  3. after you choose a registrar, you can use their website to register the domain name and pay them an annual fees typically around $15 a year which basically only holds a domain name for you. If you need additional services such as actually putting up a website to go along with your domain name, get an email address for it etc., then you’re gonna hafta pay more.

Hope this helps.
