You go to a site selling domain names and enter in the name that you want. If it is available then they will sell it to you.

I usually use globat and crucialwebhost to register my domains. I have registered more than 70 domains without any problems.

yes, 3x poses a question that I've been wondering for a very long time: How is it possible to run a site straight from your computer (eg apache/xampp/MySQL) without any third party host (such as lycos or your isp)? I would think that you'd get a high bandwidth connection and keed your computer on all the time... but how would you get your site published as www.yourname.com or as 35.25.72.111 ?
There must be a way (that's not a speculation; I would bet large money that there is a way).

Hosting and domain registration are two separate things.
To be able to run your own hosting you need a fixed IP address, a fast synchronous internet connection and an always on computer with uninterruptable powersupply and someone monitoring it 24x7 to reboot it when it goes down.
To assign a domain name to your hosting is no different whether you are hosting it on a computer at your place or in a data centre somewhere.

I currently have a couple low resource intensive websites running from an old pc at home. I only have a 1M connection but with a static IP address. I have XAMPP installed and setup on that machine with Virtual Hosts for each of the domains. Then all I do is register a domain and use www.mydomain.com to set the A record up to my static IP address. Wait 1 to 48 hours and done!

Remember, you can register domain name at one place, and look for web hosting at a different site, remember to shop around and read web hosting reviews, because to tell you the truth I never came accross good shared host

I don't think you guys understand. He wants to know where the domain registrars get teh domains from. He wants to know if they can create it or if they have to buy it from somewhere too.
I would assume they get it from ICANN, right?

There are several levels of domain name registrars. Some have paid thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to the appropriate top level domain authority for the right to licence domains in that top level domain space. Others have signed themselves up as affiliates or resellers of this first group and therefore have paid a lesser amount of money for the privelege of being able to licence domains. Unless you need several hundred domains it will be cheaper for you to just licence the ones you want rather than setting up as a reseller or affiliate.
ICANN is recognised as the TLD allocation authority so they are the ones who allocate who the the authorities are for the various top level domains. http://www.icann.org/registrars/accredited-list.html provides info on who the TLD authorities are for those top level domains that are not country specific. The domain name registrars would be buying from the organisations listed on that page. So in the case of the .com top level domain the registrars buy their access to licence .com domains from Verisign.

Sounds like someone has written a program to steal domains and is bragging about it. I wonder how long until that site is shut down and the loophole allowing the domain name theft is closed.
Since domain names are licenced and never sold and that program sets up a domain name without a licence there is no way it could possibly be legitimate.

There are really no ways to get a 100% free domain name that you'll own. If you want your own domain name for free you can try dot tk (http://www.dot.tk/en/index.html).
AOL has My eAddress (https://domains.aol.com/personaldomain/app/domainHomeSearch) where AOL will register for you for free your own domain name. Right now, My eAddress can only be used to create e-mail addresses at the domain name you want, but in the near future they're going to expand it to allow people to create websites at the domains.
In both cases you will not have ownership rights over the free domain(s), so you might want to read over the fine print to see if it's something you want, plus other stipulations like that pesky advertising.

Obviously AOL can make more money from the advertising that goes with the domain than they can get away with charging you for the domain without the advertising or they wouldn't be making that offer.
,com domains are one of the cheapest things you can buy since there are plenty of places around selling full licences with unrestricted usage at around $5.00 USD per year. Since "free" hosting usually works out way more expensive than paid hosting at $100 per year a "free" domain is likely to be even more so.
You might consider looking for cheap hosting that has a domain name bundled into the price. The domain isn't really free then but the hosting is effectively even cheaper since the price includes a domain. You can then sign up with somewhere like Google Adsense and get them to put ads on the page. You will then be the one making the profit from your hosting/domain name rather than the "free" provider being the one making the profit.

I have over six free domain names. So that's not entirely true. With an administrator's permission, I'd like to post a link to where I got them, but without that permission, I can't tell you.
