Domain Name Registration

Why should I register a domain name? Each domain name in the world must be unique - only one company can register and utilize yourdomain.com. However, there are very few restrictions on domain names - anyone may register just about any domain name they wish. As a result, more than thousands of .com, .net and .org domain names are registered every day, effectively removing these domains from availability. So act fast now !!
