The allocation of all available domain endings has been the responsibility of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) since 1998. The organisation manages all established and new top-level domains and sells the allocation rights to registries, which in turn work together with domain registrars (also known as domain providers). So, if you want to get a suitable address for your website, the first step is to choose a suitable registrar. Here you should not only pay attention to the costs, but also make sure that the desired top-level domain is available.
In addition, it is important that you choose a serious provider. Otherwise, you run the risk of the purchased domain not being registered correctly or not being available at all. In our big domain provider comparison, we took a closer look at the best domain startup sites like IONOS and united-domains for you.
