| How to buy and reserve a domain and link it to Blogger or WordPress hosting |
Buying and booking a domain name is not a difficult process, as it needs a little knowledge, which we will present to you in this article.
Domain purchase and reservation is the first step you take to create a website, that is, the first step in creating a digital presence for you on the Internet, whether the goal is to create a personal website or a business website and others.
So the domain name is the gateway to the digital world of the Internet. When you create a blog or website, you will need a name for your site or the brand you want to launch, meaning that the domain name will bear the name of your site, and it is unreasonable that the domain name is different from the name of the domain Location.
Therefore, when you create your website and choose a domain name, it is necessary to make sure that the domain name is available and that it is not reserved by another person. Distinctive and thus sells them at prices that may reach millions.
What is a domain?
Domain: It is the so-called website address, which is the name that the visitor writes in a browser to open a specific site, for example, the domain name of this site abouelmagd tech 2 is www.abouelmagd2.online and let us also say that it is the name of your site that will be known on The Internet and through it, people will find you.
The domain name or domain name is original numbers because the Internet deals with numbers and these numbers are called the IP address, i.e. the Internet protocol address. For example, the IP address of my website www.abouelmagd2.com is 138.161.162.162. By converting the domain name into numbers, that is, the DNS links the (IP) address to the names expressed (the domain name).
Where do I reserve and buy a domain name?
Suppose you want to reserve, buy, and register a domain. In that case, you should go to one of the domain name registrar companies, which are companies that manage domain names around the world, whereas in the past one company did this alone, which is Network Solutions. Still, there are many companies that manage domain names, including Godaddy, Domain.com, NameCheap, NameSilo, and Netim.

What is the end of the domain and what is the best extension to choose when booking and buying a domain extension?*
Domain Extension: The last part of the domain, for example, www.abouelmagd2.com. This is the site from which you read this article. The end of the domain or the domain extension here is (online.).
The Domain Domain Extension stands for TLD, which is an abbreviation for Top-Level Domain.
The most famous Domain extension so far is (.com), where there are other famous extensions such as (.net) (.org) and there are 280 domain extensions around the world.
Not all domain extensions are available for purchase and reservation because some belong to government institutions and some refer to specific countries.
Can you reserve a free domain?
You cannot reserve a free domain, as the domain reservation process is done by purchasing it only, but some hosting companies offer offers to obtain a free domain when purchasing a hosting plan from them, and among these companies that offer a free domain are BlueHost, HostGator, HostPapa, DreamHost, Ipage.
What is the way and how to reserve and buy a domain name?
You can buy and reserve a domain (domain reservation) through famous domain reservation companies, including GoDaddy, NameCheap, Domain.com, and NameSilo.
Note: I do not like to buy and reserve a domain from Godaddy because you will be surprised at the renewal price, which may reach several times the original price.
So, as we mentioned, there is more than one company that can buy and reserve a domain, there are hosting companies that you can book from, and there are only companies specializing in buying and booking domains, here I will explain the method of “reserving and buying a domain name” through the hosting company NameCheap, which is one of the most companies that I like to buy domains from them, and the reason is the fixed and low price of domain renewal.
