What happens when I register a domain name?

When you register a domain name, you reserve it for your exclusive use. The domain cannot be used for any service, however, until a hosting company (like Hard Drive Hotel) configures its name servers for your domain. By doing this configuration, you are able to send visitors to your website, receive email and more.
