There are several types of domain names:

1. Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) - This is the most common type of domain name, which includes .com, .net, and .org domains. gTLDs are open to anyone who wishes to register them and can be used to designate any type of website.
 
2. Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) - These domains correspond to countries or territories and have extensions such as .fr for France, .uk for the United Kingdom or .cn for China. ccTLDs are restricted to residents of the corresponding country or territory and can only be used to refer to websites located in that country or territory.
 
3. Event Domain Names (gTLDs) - These domains are for special events and have extensions such as .wedding or .paris. Event domain names may only be used to designate websites related to that specific event.
 
4. Custom Domain Names (gTLDs) - These domains allow users to choose a domain name unique to them, such as .johnsmith or .company. Custom domain names are ideal for businesses and individuals who want to have a domain name of their own.
 
There are also other types of domain names, such as secondary domain names (SDRs) and pre-registered domain names (ARPs). SDRs are domain names that belong to another company and can be used to redirect visitors to the website of the company that owns the domain name. ARPs are domain names that have been registered in advance and can be reserved for later use.
 
When you're ready to buy a domain name, you also need to choose a web hosting service. You can either buy a domain name and web hosting service from the same company or buy them from separate companies.
 
If you choose to buy your domain name from a separate company, there are several ways to go about it. Most domain name providers offer web hosting services, and most web hosting providers also have solutions for buying a domain name.
