Is it possible to buy a domain name outright instead of just "register" it per year?

I don't want to pay a monthly lease for a domain name.can I just buy it, or does keeping it registered with the domain name service itself cost money?

Most domain names I find that you rent are on a yearly basis.
Which is pretty good.

I have several of the most popular free hosts listed below, however since you are willing to pay a nominal fee then http://www.godaddy.com would be your best option.

I'm just talking about a domain name NOT hosting. And does it even matter where I but it?

How do I buy a domain name and really own it 100%?

Including copywriting the name

Buying a domain name and having it be yours is as simple as going to one of the "top" registrars such as Network solutions www.netsol.com or Register.com www.register.com You can register a domain name and own it without having web hosting setup (both of those registrars will let you point the domain to a "coming soon" page). As far as copyrighting (I do not believe the spelling is copywriting), I recommend visiting the US Copyrights FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page at http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/

Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99). They offer free extras with every domain name:

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
