How to register your domain name
From NetMusician Wiki
If you are interested in the address of your website being "www.yourname.com" and carrying email addresses with the suffix "yourname.com" (e.g. you@yourname.com), you will need to register your domain name and pay the associated registration fee.
NetMusician does not offer domain registration services, but the service we have been using is called Domain Discover (we make no money from referring you to this service, this is simply the one we happen to like currently). Your registration fee is an annual fee, usually between $10-20/year with discounts for multi-year registrations. Your domain is your property and legal entity. You can associate your domain name with any web host using the username and password you establish with your domain registrar, we do not own your domain names or have any control over what you decide to do with them.
Think of your domain registration as analogous to getting your name to appear in the phone book. However, you still need to have some sort of number listed - your name alone is not terribly useful public information! Therefore, you will need to provide information about the host that is hosting your site (us), or following this analogy, you need to provide your phone number.
To do this, you'll find a section in your Domain registrar's administrative pages where you can set "name servers" for your domain. In order for us to host your domain, you'll need to enter the following information:
primary name server: netmusician.org
secondary name server: ns1.netmusician.org
Sometimes this language is a little different, please let us know if you have any questions or if we can assist you in any way!
Once you have made this change, it will take between 24-72 hours for this change to be noticed across the entire internet. During this time, we will need to make some changes on our server to provide information about your website and domain. Please let us know when you have pointed your domain name to our name servers, and we will make these necessary changes.
