Can a web hosted site, register its domain name?

It normally depends on the Webserver provider, but most of them will allow their customers to use their own registered domain name.





The technical term for this is "Virtual Hosting", as the Webserver redirects users going to a specific domain name to visit a specific site on that server. This allows the webserver to have various sites with various domain names.





You'll need to check with your webserver provider on instructions on how to connect your domain name to your website. Please be aware that it may take up to 72 hours for the Domain Name Servers (the servers that control what IP address a domain name goes to) to make the changes worldwide.
