There is a main registration list of all the domain names online. In order to use a domain name, you must make sure that it will get in there. By registering a domain name, you are connected to it for as long as the registration period lasts.

What’s the name of your company? What is your page all about? If you answer these questions, you will find the keywords that you could include in your domain name. You can do more research to check the availability of various or similar domain names, until you find the perfect one for you. Try to find a short name that represents the content of your page and is easy to remember.

Some main technical rules that you need to follow are mentioned below:

• The name must consist of Latin or Greek characters. You can also use numbers from 0 to 9 and the dash symbol "-" to separate words.
• There is no difference between upper and lowercase letters.
• The underscore "_" slash "/" symbols are not allowed.
• Spaces and the rest of the symbols are not allowed.
• You cannot combine Latin and Greek characters.

Of course! Purchasing a domain name does not require that you already have a hosting plan. You can proceed to purchase a domain name for an idea that will only come to life after several months but also in order to protect your existing main domain. For example, if your domain name is mysite.gr, having mysite.tech, mysite.me, mysite.com.cy, will allow you to strengthen your brand.
However, your website will be visible to the outside world once you purchase a hosting plan too. Hosting is like a home to your website; it is a space where your website is being hosted.

Purchasing a domain rhymes with instant activation! Once the payment has been completed, the domain name is yours and you have the possibility to manage it through the control panel. In order for your domain name to be accessible online, you need to update your hosting nameservers and wait about 48 hours.
