  Go to a site such as http://www.godaddy.com and purchase one. You will be able to put in the name you want and then it will tell you if the name is available or not. If it is, you will be given options such as how long you want to rent it for, such as one year or longer. There are other options too. Beware you will be asked to sign up for this and that, such as privacy, that will add to the cost.

  Register.com is another such site but it’s more expensive.

  Another one is hostgator.com. They also do hosting and more. I went with godaddy and now that I’m (trying to) use Word Press I wish I had gone with hostgator.

  Hi erikadbell,

  I just wanted to add that it’s possible to register a custom domain through WordPress.com too:

  Register a New Domain

  This would mean your WordPress.com site and domain could be managed from one account :)

  Come back to me if you have any questions.
