Kerubo, Ideally you should identify a registrar of choice, registrars are accredited by various registries in the case of country code top level domains or gtlds to resell the domains on their behalf. In this case you will be refered to us the registrant (owner) of the domain and ideally once you pay the agreed fee per year or two years, the registrar provides a technical contact (Registar himself) and an Administrative contact to the registry. On the second question in most cases the web designer can opt to put the name of his company at the bottom of the website , for marketing purposes or your company name can appear (Copyright) remember a website is like a brochure and you dont want people copying your brochure and masquerading as you, though it is not a must that the name of the person to whom the domain is registered appears at the bottom. I hope this helps :-) On Thu, Oct 27, 2011 at 4:39 PM, Kerubo Ombati <kaykerubo@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Listers,
Could someone help me with this:
- what are the requirements are for domain name registration.
- For a website is it necessary to indicate to whom the domain name is registered at the bottom of the webpage?
