How to Register a Domain Name
If you are setting up your own Web server, you will have to register directly with the
InterNIC. If you are putting a Web site onto the server of your Internet service provider
(ISP), that organization will generally handle the registration for you, typically for an additional
fee. To find out more about the InterNIC visit www.internic.net.
