How do I register a domain name?

Domain name registration is the act of staking out "mycompanyname.com" or something similar as your own. Support/FAQ

Domain name registration prices vary, but should be $35 per year or less (the best deals are much lower, but read the fine print; make sure you will legally own your domain name).

godaddy.com is one of the cheapest domain name registrars available. GoDaddy will strongly encourage you to purchase your web hosting service from them as well.

A "hit" to a web site means that the server was accessed to retrieve a file.

You can see that the number of pageviews is more significant than the number of hits.
