A brief comparison of some popular domain registrars.

It’s almost to the point where it’s literally, a dime a dozen. Domain registrars are the companies that hold a database of domain names and the detailed information about the domains. For example:

"domainname.com" would have the following attributes in the database:

-website IP address (can be the registrar or a third party hosting company)
-A records (friendly name, i.e. www.domainname.com)
-MX records (email server address)
-CNAME records (other friendly name, i.e. office.domainname.com)
-SOA (start of authority)
-domain owner (you)
-domain administrator (could be different than owner)

When you purchase a domain name, the registrar will have you supply this information so that the new domain can be found on the Internet. Typically, it takes 24 hours or less for the domain name to be "live" once this information is provided.

All in all, i  since most registrars make the process very easy to understand. Every registrar will provide a search feature that let’s you find a domain name and insure that it’s unique. If the name is already taken, they will likely suggest a list of similar names that are available.

So, who are the best registrars? Well, there are thousands of them and they all provide the same service, but there are a few that stand out.
