How to Set Up a Web Site for Your Local ASNT Section
Internet Domain Names
To create a Web site, you'll first have to choose and register its name. The name takes the form of a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) such as:
http://www.yoursection.com
Your address could also be a subdivision of someone else's domain, such as:
http://www.acme.com/yoursection
Most ASNT Section Web sites have their own URL. The decision is a matter of convenience and expense. If your site is part of another domain, costs may be shared and the domain name is already registered. ASNT Sections should not use existing commercial domains to host their site.

Registration involves searching the current domain names database through a registrar to see if the name you desire is already being used by someone else, before registering and submitting payment.
Domain names registrars are accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Registration is generally about $35.00 per year, with some price reductions offered for multiple registrations. See our Links to Additional Resources page for a link to registrar information.
