    You can register a new domain anywhere - ie www.godaddy.com

    Install wordpress and have it converted over

    I think he just might be wanting to know a good Domain for the purpose of a Blog.

    You can choose a personalized Anime name, such as probably CyberDog.com or something, it can just reflect your profession.

    If you are a writer you can have cutewriter.com if you are a Graphics designer you can have graphicboy.com, if you are into gaming you might get your hands on thegamelord.com

    So that is a short guide for registering a personal domain name.

    But PLEASE DONT USE NUMBERS OR HYPHENS IN YOUR DOMAIN NAME. Make it short and easy, dont try going for 1-4 letter domains as most of them have been taken, dont try going for words in the dictionary, they have been taken as well, make full use of Literature's gifts like The, My, Your and adjectives.

    Hope I helped,
    IT

    Godaddy is the worst registrar I EVER met in my life.

    It's not only me that's bitching IT.. Watch discussions about people who lost hundreds of domains..

    I lost 5 domains with them. I could not renew them anymore ..

    Their answer ? You are not in our records, as owner.. SCREW THAT MAN.

    Others lost hundreds of domains.

    Cristian ?? You met Godaddy ? Wow!

    Anyways, I'll have to go with Expertu's point, Godaddy does suck! I remember when I was new to the internet, I registered a domain with the term 'hackers' in it! It was meant to point out at the term 'modifiers' rather than anything blackhat and wasn't even related to computers!

    The domain registration went fine, everything done! Site up, Forums ready!
    25 days, 600+ members and one fine day .. I get a mail from godaddy stating 'unacceptable domain' and my money refunded! Domain Cancelled ... Grrrr ....

    Since then I stick to dynadot.com .. Trust these guys a lot :)

    I think i`ll lose more than 100 domains at registerfly. i reged them on 2006-07-06 and after a few days disappeared. after that, 89 of them appeared as expired.
    Reg date: 2006-07-06
    Expire date: 2006-07-06
    it`s full of errors, i`m getting no answer from technical support for 5 days, i don`t know what to do, i`m getting mad
    the ones at live support are telling me to wait
