Register.com is one of many different Internet based companies that sells and/ or reserves Internet domain names needed for making any type of web site. Register.com is also a part of a web hosting company that sells its services to any customer who is buying them. Web hosting is needed in order to back up a web site. If you do not have a web host behind your Internet web site, then your web site will not display on the World Wide Web.
My experience with Register.com has been a good one, and I, therefore would most definitely recommend it to any one in need of a domain name or web hosting. My use of Register.com is for a small business and I had specific needs that needed to be met. The first thing that I needed was a domain name. I wanted to use my name and then the purpose of my business and follow it up with a .com. Sadly, my dreams had been someone else's. Fortunately, Register.com had other options for my web site and I ended up picking the suffix .net to end my domain name. Because the .net option is being used more and more lately, this domain name has worked out great for me. I paid for a full year's worth of ownership over this domain name and can renew this as much as I need. The next thing I picked was the option that came with web hosting. I chose a package with email, since I was expecting email to come in from the site. I also needed to sell things on the site, requiring ecommerce options, which Register.com took care of.
