Just found this, apparently, ICANN is the owners of the domain names ie top levels and you must pay and hope to be picked. So much for internet being free choice of names. Thanks for the help but I found the answer here.

Just wondering if I have a static IP and a windows server in my house. What's stopping me from having a domain name that ends in .whateveriwant<br />
like <a href="http://www.mysite.thisisme" rel="ugc">www.mysite.thisisme</a><br />
<br />
Is this possible? And if not why? and when will it get added?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

A web server refers to the software that helps to deliver web content that can be accessed either through the Internet or through an intranet. The primary function of a web server is to store, process and deliver web pages to clients. The communication between client and server takes place using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The most common use of web servers is to host websites, but there are other uses such as gaming, data storage, running enterprise applications, handling email, FTP, etc.
