| Registering a name in Qortal currently costs a flat fee of 1.25 QORT (in the future this number may be modified) and after being paid, is owned by the account that registered the name. There is no continual fee associated with name registration. The ability to sell names to other users in the ‘names market’ is now possible - users can now sell their registered name to another user in a similar fashion to that which the Domain Name System currently uses but without the added monthly fee involved in order to keep the name ‘active’ in the system.

| With web hosting and data storage, a major use case for name registration will be that of ‘domain names’ on Qortal (these are not called domain names, they are simply ‘names’ tied to a data space). These names can be utilized by any user of Qortal to access data hosted on a name’s data space. This could be a website, blog, social media page, or essentially anything the user chooses to put on the data space. An application utilizing the data space could also be built and any other user could then access the application utilizing the name. A ‘proxy’ setup with a Qortal Node could be utilized for those wishing to use a Qortal name to host a site that will also be accessible through a traditional Domain Name. The Qortal node would act as a proxy, proxying the access of a domain name, to the Qortal Network, and the registered name there. This would allow data hosted on the Qortal Network to be accessible without the need for installation of a Qortal node in order to access the data - giving access to anyone with the click of a link. | With web hosting and data storage, a major use case for name registration will be that of ‘domain names’ on Qortal (these are not called domain names, they are simply ‘names’ tied to a data space).
