It's easy

In Response To: I agree with Sunil 100%, but it's too much to think about right now (Bloooooooooooooto)

You can fill in forms in web pages, right?

Then it's easy.

Domain Registration:

I personally use 000domains.com, and have done for several years, and am very happy with them. I'll tell you how their system works, but other systems are generally similar.

Here's what you do:

Go to their site

Fill in the form with the domain name you want to register (I'm assuming youre choosing a .com, .net, or .org - because some other types can be different)

You'll have to fill in your name + address for billing, your registration address, any options (the only one you are likely to even be worth considering at this point is if you want to hide your registration address from prying eyes in the domain record). Then you fill in your credit card. You'll also need to enter an email address where you can be reached.

All the domains you register at 000domains, get put under your account with them, which you can log in to later with a password that they'll give you, to modify your domain details, address, etc.

Web Hosting:

Go find a company that you like the look of.

You can use one Leslie recommends, or you can use a well-established company such as PowWeb, iPowerWeb, midPhase, ThinkHost etc.

Look for a shared hosting account. You only need a fairly basic account if you are just starting it, as these have enough power for even quite big and serious sites. I'd be surprised if you need to pay more than $20 per month. And there are even some good accounts in the $5 to $10 per month range.

If I were you, I'd make sure the account comes with PHP, MySQL and CGI feature. These are things that you might want later to run scripts. If there is a choice of Linux or Windows, choose Linux. If you use FrontPage, look for an account with FrontPage extensions.

Once you've chosen your host, fill in their forms, pay them, and say you want to host a domain that you already own with them. If they ask you if you want to transfer the domain to their registrar, say no.

POINT DOMAIN AT YOUR HOST

Now the last thing to do is to point your domain at your web host.

Ask your web host for the names of their name servers.

Typically they are called something like

NS.COMPANYNAME.COM
NS2.COMPANYNAME.COM

or something similar

Now go back to 000domains, log-in to your account, click your domain, and choose edit name servers. Then fill in the name server details.

That's it.

NOTICE TO SCUMBEEZLES
(you know who you are... you scream "Foul!" when the truth comes out)
        PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT.  It has been done before, but never successfully.  In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
        If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace.
        NEWS FLASH:  I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday.  I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish.  I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?).  I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" 
        Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures.

        Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.  We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site.
        You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law.  You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual.  We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.
        By posting messages and/or content on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, you give permission for Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications to display, distribute and use the posting and content for publication, advertising, promotion, excerption or example. You grant Lesley Fountain/Friends In Business/Shoestring Success Publications complete, perpetual, but non-exclusive rights to use, archive, reproduce, adapt, modify, distribute, sub-license, repurpose, rework, compile, or offer for sale or resale the messages, postings or content appearing on this site in whole or in part, throughout the world and universe, on a royalty-free basis without remuneration.  If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board.
        In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact.
        And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!).
