Can anyone please tell me how to register a DNS? Which company is recommended? And any pitfalls to be aware of?

I dont know much about this, but would like to create a webpage with a co.za suffix. And googling it has just confused me further :)

Thanks.
 
Just go to pretty much any respectable host choose your domain(if available) and register by paying with a credit card. Just confirm that the domain would be registered in YOUR name and not in the hosting companies. Also if its for business ask for WHOIS privacy so that your personal details won't be so easily obtainable.

Yes but what if the OP doesn't have a hosting company yet...?
 
ahhh so I must start by finding a hosting company first! Thanks guys...
 
Well, you could use www.changeip.com
Here you can register your own free DNS name and link it back to your own ADSL IP or whatever you have.
You might not be able to go very fancy with the name, but at least it is free for 2 years.
Thereafter you just have to confirm it again for another 2 years free.

Works like a dream for me :)
