Can someone point me where I can find application/service used for creating NEW domain names?

If I want to create domain for example: somethingnew.com and I don't want to purchase it somewhere on net and redirect it on my pc, I want program/service that will allow me to own same way of registering as those online service have, just on my pc locally...

It should be accessible for global internet users.

Is this possible?

I would like to use it with WAMP ( Apache ) server, if that is possible...

If anyone have any direction what would be useful, what program/service, I will appreciate that...

I try with Simple DNS Plus application, but it's not working okay...

Anyone have any suggestion?

Hi SharkTheDark. This is a website for professional system administrators, as defined in the FAQ. From the content of your question it is quite clear that your question does not fit into this site. – Mark Henderson♦ Oct 21 '11 at 23:01

your best bet might be over on superuser.com, however you might want to phrase your question more clearly, because as the answers have pointed out, you've contradicted yourself in what you want to do – Mark Henderson♦ Oct 21 '11 at 23:19

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

You're looking at registering .com domains without going through a third party? That requires thousands of dollars in licensing to become an accredited registrar with the ICANN.

In order to point a purchased domain to your local server, you must set up name-servers on your computer.

DNS doesn't work this way. By definition if you want your domain (and WAMP services) globally accessible via DNS you're going to need to have a domain that is registered to you and have the appropriate DNS records propagated out through the DNS system. Doing this is much more difficult that it sounds which is why most people use a 3rd party (i.e., a DNS Registrar).

If cost is the deciding factory, you could always try a free domain service (Afraid.org FreeDNS is my favorite). You don't get your choice of domain but you can pick your own subdomain They choose the somethingnew.com for you but you can choose whateverIWant.something.com**.

I needed top domain names, not subdomains, and since that is not possible, then okay... Thank you all... – SharkTheDark Oct 21 '11 at 23:11
