Trying to help my parents set up a small business website and we are stuck on the domain part again, a few years ago someone registered their domain under their own name and we ended up losing control of it, so I want to avoid that mistake this time. I just want a simple way to check availability and register the domain in their name so they actually own it every registrar seems packed with upsells, add ons, and extras that make the process more confusing than it needs to be. What is the fastest way to secure a domain properly without overpaying or accidentally giving someone else control of it?
