An Internet DNS domain name has a TLD name, such as .com, .org, or .edu, and a unique subdomain name that the domain owner chooses. For example, a company named Contoso Corporation would probably choose contoso.com as its Internet domain name.
Before you register an Internet DNS domain, conduct a preliminary search of the Internet to confirm that the DNS domain name that you want to use is not already registered to another organization. If the domain name that you want to use is available, contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to confirm that the domain name is available and to help you register your domain name. Your ISP might set up a DNS server on its own network to host the DNS zone for your domain name or it might help you set up a DNS server on your network for this purpose.
