No no , For registration (1 year) u need to pay RM 40.

Once the registration is expired , you need to pay RM 40 for renewal and so on.

Meanwhile if u purchased domain from other provider and wish to transfer into their server , u need to pay RM 40 for transfer fee.

chicaman, why don't you just use no-ip or dyndns?
it's a free domain provider, with exception you need to use their domain name.

like xxx.no-ip.org

http://www.no-ip.com

http://www.dyndns.com

The cheapest I can find is RM35
sempoihosting.com

What if the domain is already taken??? example my name is kenwee...

i want www.kenwee.com or .net
already taken....so how?

I already got this....no-ip....

example

ken-heart.no-ip.org

ken-heart.blogspot.com


not much diff....so i prefer to get a domain since its not that exp...

NO-IP domain is freaking expensive.

Just buy a domain from any provider and host it at free DNS provider like www.mydomain.com , so you can create domain redirection to your blogspot account.

If the domain name is unavailable , you have to try another TLD or , try another name.

I dun understand this.....Just buy a domain from any provider and host it at free DNS provider like www.mydomain.com , so you can create domain redirection to your blogspot account. Can explain?? I tot after register...i can link it directly....

Okay let me show you step by step.

1. Buy domain from any registrar , you should put all billing,contact and technical details during sign up. Once the process is completed , the domain is yours. Wait until the domain is fully propagated on Internet , usually it takes up to 48 hours.

2. Register MyDomain account, login and add your domain into your control panel.

3. Once the domain is up , you need to change the domain nameserver to NS1.MYDOMAIN.COM , NS2.MYDOMAIN.COM , NS3.MYDOMAIN.COM and NS4.MYDOMAIN.com , and wait until the DNS server is updated.

4. Once the DNS server is updated , you can create a web redirection from your domain to your blogspot account

Hope this will help you.

TLD stands for Top Level Domain , which is the domain extension like .com , .net , .org , .my , .cc , .sg is considered as TLD.

Ok, after that where to register MyDomain account? I don understand....example I buy from sempoihosting.com then where should i register?

and the domain name server...i just have to change it accoring to what u write? ...only 4?

buddy, actually its like this... You can buy the domain name from any Registrar means you can buy from any webhosting company like ipserverone.com la, or sempoihosting.com and etc... Once you purchase the domain name from them, you will be provided an domain control panel from the company. You may change the DNS stuff there...

So now, if let say you just want to buy the domain name but you do not have any webhosting, you can redirect your domain name to your current blog/forum/etc... You get what I mean?

I found cheaper one at Netkl.com
Rm33/yr oni

if taken then cannot take liao lo..

Ya, I can see it is very cheap... RM33 per year only... but now I still got 5 free domain names...

Can a Domain have TWO webhost?

Assuming you meant domain name system, a domain name will only point to one destination. But you can configure multiple hosts to have them 'share' one domain name. For example a domain that usually points to a primary server, but if the server is offline it will be rerouted to a backup server.

Theoretically that is how it works, but practically, you do that only if you have static web sites. If you have a dynamic web site, it is a big no no. If you want to run a backup site, you will have to use an active DNS server, replicate mySQL databases on secondary server from primary and do the required MX record to ensure emails are delivered to the correct place.

This is very tedious because you will need root access on both servers. You can't do that with shared hosting account.

Hope that helps

Thank you to both michaelfoo and eek-1.

I registered this for my company, and so far, no any downtime occured... its been almost 1 year I use it. The price is really cheap if you compare to our local one... I mean compare in terms of web storage and bandwidth... But I am afraid you won't use that much too... but u can have a look lo...

hey thanks i will look into it. It has to be pay by credit card ?

well, normally just those local webhosting companies are allow online banking such as Maybank2u, Public bank and etc. But for those foreign countries, they prefer the payment to be paid by credit card lo.
