So you have a website address that you want to promote, but you've ran into a problem. Either it's too hard to remember, or it isn't usable with certain websites. The solution to your problem is to buy a domain name.
There are many sites that offer domain names for you to buy: 1and1.com, One.com, Register.com, or my recommended favorite, GoDaddy.com. GoDaddy is one of the most popular web hosting sites (you may recognize Danica Patrick as the Go Daddy girl) and has great prices: just $6.99 per year for your own domain name (This price is a special offer and I don't know how long it will last).
Here is a list of steps to take in order to get your own domain name with forwarding:
1) Go to GoDaddy.com
2) Near the top of the homepage there is a green bar with different categories listed. Click on the "Domains" category and you will be taken to a new page.
3) Here will be where you enter your domain name to see if it is available. The choice of a ".com" web domain is already chosen for you, and I recommend using a.com because you're trying to make this web address easy to remember, and.com is the easiest domain to remember.
Now enter your domain name choice into the box that has an arrow pointing to it, saying "Start your domain name search here!". When you have finished entering your domain name (it could be anything you want, but I suggest using something that pertains to website), click "Search". You will be brought to a new page.
4) 1 of 2 things will happen, it will be available, or it won't be.
*If your domain name isn't available, it will tell you and offer you a box to enter a new domain name in. Keep trying until you get one that you like.
*If it is available, and you want to keep that domain name, click the "Add" button next to where it says that your name is available. A box will pop us with your domain name in it, you can exit out of this box. Then, you can add more names on this page, or by doing another search in the box a little lower down on the page.
If that is the only name you want, click the "Continue to Registration" button just to the right and above where the "Add" button was. You will probably get an offer for a deal on other names, you can just click, "No Thanks".
5) To register you will most likely have to create an account, unless you already have one. If you have an account already, you can just log in, otherwise, fill out the required information, and click "Continue".
6) At the checkout page, fill in all of your billing information, and make sure that your order is correct. Continue by clicking "Checkout Now".
7) You will be brought a a "Thank You For Your Order" confirmation page, letting you know that your order was successful. You will also receive a sales confirmation e-mail and support e-mail. From this page you can print out your receipt and log into your account. Your receipt will include your customer number, order number, login name and login password.
8) Your sales confirmation e-mail will have similar information to your receipt, as well as additional instructions and information about you account and how to manage your products. Your support e-mail will confirm that the sale was completed successfully, and give further instructions on how to log in to your GoDaddy.com account.
