Domain Registration - This is the service providing hosting services, as well as registration services. These services are used for submitting the forms that are required to obtain a domain name for use on your web site. Some unethical cases: individuals have registered domain names hoping to "sell" the domain to the companies that should have rightfully registered those names. These services should be avoided as these are not legitimate registration services. Only after a domain name has been registered in your name, then you should not make your web site's name public knowledge.
