The next question is, “What options should I buy when I register a domain name?  Do I need all the extra stuff?”  The kind of things that you typically see offered to you at any type of domain service are things like registration privacy, getting an extra e-mail account, getting SSL certification, getting a certified domain, getting business registration, etc.  Basically, you can ignore all of those if you wish to.  There’s no inherent need for you to get any extras when it comes to registering your domain name.  I recommend that you register your domain name for two years and you should not add on anything else unless you’re working from home and you have no business address.
