What is the easiest way to register a domain name?

There are a ton of choices on the Internet. Any suggestions?

They're all pretty much the same, so price and configuration will be the deciding factor.

I use www.godaddy.com as it's pretty good in both respects.

jae.

If you're American, check too Canadian companies that register .com domains. You can get a discount because of exchange rates (though the rate isn't so favorable these days...). For example:

A .com domain is pretty easy and cheap, with a host of options according to choice.

If you want a .co.kr domain it is more dificult. You have to prove a physical presence (business registration certificate etc) and it seems to cost more. The add-on options are there too.

I have a .co.kr domain through an American outfit. Costs around 200 USD with email facility.

couple of things...

shop around and see what different extensions will get you e.g.
.com
.co.uk
.biz
.info
etc

bear in mind that you do not have to have your domain registered with the company who hosts your site. My domain is registered in the UK and my site is hosted in Texas.

also look into payments like I am currently on which last two years. My .co.uk domain costs me only about US$10 a year.

finally, make sure you renew your domain nice and early when it gets close to running out. If you are slack here, you could lose your name completely.
