Domains, domain names and how to own them
Buteland.com is dedicated to informing you about domain names - how to register them, how to make money from them, how to buy new domain names, or how to backorder the exact domain you want.
Domain names are often compared to virtual real estate. Of course, everyone knows how to buy actual real estate, but even after a decade of popular use of the web, some people are still puzzled about how to buy a domain name. (See getting your domain name registration.) Another analogy is that the current situation is something like the wild west - a vast landscape of vacant property is out there, just waiting on someone like you to stake a claim. Aren't all the best domain names already taken? Don't you have to set up hosting before you own a domain? Doesn't it cost a lot of money to own a domain? I've heard you can make a fortune by selling a good one word domain - is this true?
Our pages will help you with the answers to those domain questions. One of the most popular question is related to free domains - can you really get a domain for free anywhere? We giive you the answers in our free domains page.
Another question that people new to domains often ask is 'What does a domain host do?' Check our Domain hosting explained page for the answers to that one.
More experienced domain users will already know how easy it is to buy a domain, in fact, how easy it is to buy many more domains than you could ever need or use. The critical question is How can I buy and sell domains for a profit? Perhaps you are looking for a domain name to buy? In that case, you need to know about domain name search engines.
Having done all that, and you find the ideal domain name is already taken, can you still get it, even if you have to wait? See our advice about how to backorder a domain name.
We also expore the myths and truths about cheap and discount domain names, expired and expiring domain names, what a DNS server actually does, what subdomains can be used for, and what are the top level domains and the country codes. We also have a look at current trends like .mobi names, buying domains at auctions, and at the most expensive domain names.
