I don’t know about it but I have heard Yahoo is not very reliable with domain renewal, may be they charge too much or something. Just vague informations. I am also looking to buy domain and I would suggest may be godaddy is nice as you can pay through paypal.
can i be sure that at this date my domain will expire?
in whois.com this text was displayed:
NOTICE: The expiration date displayed in this record is the date the registrar’s sponsorship of the domain name registration in the registry is currently set to expire. This date does not necessarily reflect the expiration date of the domain name registrant’s agreement with the sponsoring registrar. Users may consult the sponsoring registrar’s Whois database to view the registrar’s reported date of expiration for this registration.
Well it means that they(whois) get an expire date from the provider, but it can change. if the day of expire comes they still can extend it.

To protect a business name within your industry, you would apply for a trademark.
Trademarks can be names of products or services, logos, slogans, packaging and even sounds and smells. In essence, a trademark can be almost anything that is used to identify a particular product or service. Registering a trademark grants the owner exclusive rights to the mark within the specified industry.
Of course, it’s necessary to research the mark comprehensively prior to filing to ensure that there is no possibility of infringing upon another party.
This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.
To register a trademark, that’s done either through your Secretary of State for a State trademark or the US Patent & Trademark Office for a Federal trademark.
If you are only conducting business in one state, then a State trademark is most appropriate. If you conduct (OR are planning to conduct) business in at least 2 states OR between the US & any other country, you can file for a Federal trademark.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
I have thought of a great name - got all excited to see that it was available then just thought I would double check before purchasing. Looked it up on internet and someone else had already set up a website using that name. Why is that?
well maybe you could add a dot in the name…

Go to http://www.namesarecheap.com/whois.shtml
it’s that simple
a domain name is registered in your name and it stays that way for a year after that you have to renew you r registration
domain registration is the first step to making your own website you need a domain name and a host.
a domain is pretty much a web adress
a name for your piece of internet real estate

Who Actually Owns Domain Name Registration, i mean when we buy a domain name who do we pay for the privilege. I know hosting company’s offer domain name registration and take a cut if they are a reseller, but who owns the actual business.
I’m not sure that it is a business. I think if you have a domain name server you can register domains. It is more of a standard than a business. I found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Corporation_for_Assigned_Names_and_Numbers
That organisation oversees domain names but isn’t a business but a non-profit organisation.
I don’t mean any subdomains,directories or anything like batcave.net, geocities.com. I mean domain name registrations such as .com, .co.uk, .org etc but for absolutely free.
No! You can only get free sub domains! Somebody has to pay for the registration!
I am making a website and I want to buy a .com domain name. I went on one website where they ask for the company name in the ordering form. What do I have to put there. I dont owe a company?thanks
Don’t put anything if you don’t have a company.
Here is the fast low cost way to register a domain and put it online in a few minutes.
