Domain registrars are necessary for building a website. If you want your website to have a professional domain, you will need to sign up with a specific domain hosting website. The domain is important because most Internet users prefer a domain that is short and sweet and ends with .com. The only way you can have your website end with .com is to essentially lease one by signing up with a domain registrar and purchasing the rights of use.<\/p>\n

There are lots of domain hosting websites to choose from which makes it difficult to decide which one you will use for your personal website. However, there are quite a few domain registrars that take the lead over all the other domain registrars on the Internet. These domain websites also accept a variety of payments including PayPal, which is definitely convenient and safe.<\/p>\n

Below is a list of some of the top domain registrars on the Internet today:
\n
\nGoDaddy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"godaddy-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This Company has been around for such a long time and own just about 30 percent of the market share. This website is reputable and trusted; it is a company that you know will do the right job and never scam you. During the first year of services, you will be charged around $11 a month. This amount seems quite affordable when you think of all that the domain registrars will do for you. They have handled over 34 million domain names in the past and present and will continue to handle more domain names in the future as more and more people build their own websites. GoDaddy<\/a> offers so much more than just a domain name to the customers that they provide service to. GoDaddy also offers email accounts, web hosting, online security products and website builders. All of these important tools have been helping people do better in business which also enables them to have more success with their website and, in return, make more money with it as well.<\/p>\n

Enom<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"enom-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Enom<\/a> is a good website for domain hosting but it has a long way to go to catch up to GoDaddy in the market share. Enom only owns about 8 percent of the market share. Customers who use Enom will typically have to pay around $35 a month which is just too much to some people. This is the main reason why many people prefer other domain registrars that are much more affordable. That is not to say that Enom does not provide excellent service, because it surely does. Enom has handled only a little after 10 million domain names.<\/p>\n

TuCows<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"tucows-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The only way to get domain names from TuCows<\/a> is by going to their affiliate sites. They only own about 6 percent of the market share. TuCows has handled close to 8 million domain names which is still a long way to go to even come close to catching up with GoDaddy. TuCows charges $15 a month for the first year of service. The cost of service is definitely cheaper than Enom but is still more expensive than GoDaddy. TuCows also sell other types of internet services on their website.<\/p>\n

NetworkSolutions<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"networksolutions-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

NetworkSolutions<\/a> offer domain service solutions like no other. They only have 5 percent of the market share and have handled over 6 million domain names. Much like Enom, they charge about $35 per month for the first year of service.<\/p>\n

\"1and1-logo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Schlund are the leader of the most Europe domain registrar names. They currently own over 5 million of the Europe domain names. Their domain services are only for people with 1&1<\/a> internet which is why they only own about 4 percent of the market share.

\n\"registrars-stats\"<\/p>\n

It can be hard choosing a domain registrar due to the expansive providers. However, these are just some of the domain hosts that are currently on the market. Amongst these ten different domain hosts, there are a bunch of other domain registrars as well.<\/p>\n

Most people would probably advise you to go with GoDaddy because it has been around for such a long time and is also cheaper than all of the other websites. Affordability and dependability are two things that many people look for when they are putting their website in the hands of someone else. It is ultimately your decision as to which domain registrar you will go with. Just make sure that you make the right decision and choose one that will have a lot to offer you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
