Before I start my first lesson, I would like to mention a few points.
These materials can be used by even ordinary persons(laymen) and understanding these does not require any special skills.I have tried to provide illustrations with screenshots wherever possible.Anyone who is sincere and willing to utilize these lessons will be benefited over a period of 3 to 4 months.This is not for people who are interested in get-rich-quick schemes.
With best wishes,
Sridharan.

Introduction:
To begin with let's understand the concept of internet.We all know that in order to use the internet we need to first get a connectivity to the internet and then using a browser like Internet explorer or similar ones, enter an address and then view the contents of a particular web-page.The person who provides the connectivity to the internet is called the ISP or the Internet service provider.
Domain Name registration:
How does one get the internet address, otherwise known as the URL?(Uniform Resource Locator)It is necessary to register a domain with a domain registrar and buy a domain name.Before allocating the domain name, the registrar will check its availability since someone else might have already registered the name.If the name is available, the registrar will ask for certain mandatory details before allocating the name to you.The cost of registration varies depending upon the type and size of the registrar.It is usually collected as a yearly subscription or as a monthly subscription.Since it is a periodic subscription, the domain name needs to be renewed regularly.In other words, there is no such thing as a one-time purchase of a domain name.The registrars are accessed through web-hosting companies.Hence, for our discussion, we will refer to web-hosting companies in future.
Domain name extensions:
Every domain name should have an extension.There are many types of extensions available,like some given below:
.Com
.org
.biz
.net
.Ws
Again the cost of registration varies based on the type of extension.
Choosing the type of extension is decided by the kind of organization or the purpose for which you need the domain.Generally all commercial firms select .com or .biz while non-commercial, non-profit firms choose other extensions.
How do we locate a good registrar?
There are many ways of locating a good registrar.The best way,in my opinion, is to search the internet.You can click here to locate registrars (who are also known as web-hosting companies as mentioned earlier.)

Tips for choosing a domain Name:
1.Whenever you try to register a domain name, there will be an option provided to first check its availability.An important point to be kept in mind while choosing a domain name is to keep it relevant to the content your are planning to provide in your web-site.The name of the site should reveal what the contents are likely to be.Otherwise netizens will lose interest instantly since they are always very busy surfing the mighty internet universe.A person who is otherwise lazy also prefers to be quick and impatient on the Net.Don't ever first register a name and then decide about the contents.
2.Another point to be kept in mind is the length of your address.It is easy for you to be excited about your name and fall in love with it quickly. But you must look at it from a neutral point of view.Nobody cares to type in a long address.Remember "Netizens are an impatient lot."
3.The type of extension should not be much of a worry.People get used to it in time.For that reason, I recommend GDI since short names are available now.It may be too late after sometime.GDI also provides a 7-day free trial.
It may be necessary to pay by credit card.If you are shy of using the credit card ,you can try options like Paypal or Alertpay
