another .com domain registry question...

IrishLad2012

So as the title suggests.I have a few questions about a website idea I have.I want to develop a website and app.

I want to register a .com domain name.Have had a look at blacknight/365 and a few others,just wondering if I buy a domain form any of the above,do they have any ownership to this domain?Can I get domain here and get a freelancer to develop the site?

Also wondering if I register it for 2 years and then have to renew it,who values how much the renewal would be?Just incase this thing goes global

Also does anyone know anything about protecting the name of an app?

Any help or any advice would be great,Thanks Guys.(from a tech dummy)

You can register the domain anywhere, and it's yours, you can then host the site elsewhere if it suits you.

The renewal price isn't affected by the site's popularity at all...

Thanks Kevin.Just wondering do you know can you launch a .com website in any country or do you have to also own the local .ie,.co.uk,.com.au?

You can use any domain suffix anywhere, you don't have to have the local ones. Up to you.
