You can register a domain name by going to any of the worldwide domain name registrars. As long as the domain name is still available, anyone will be able to register a domain name for himself under normal circumstances.

Some of the popular domain name registrars are as follows:

Generally, you can register a domain for under USD$10 per year! Do not pay more than that for a domain name! There are some very established domain name registrars that provides domain name registration at rates which are 3oo% to 400% more expensive than the other popular registrars!

If you need to register a country specific domain name such as donaldlim.com.sg or donald.sg, you can go to any of the local registrars based in Singapore to submit your request for a localised domain name registration. Some of the registrars that offer Singapore-specific domain names registration are as follows:
