How does buying a .com.sg/.sg domain work?

[Ruzzeh]

hey guys, bear with me for I'm really new at this. basically i already have a free domain that came with the plan I bought with Wix that is .net (because .com was taken) but I am looking to make it .sg

how do I purchase a .com.sg/.sg domain in Singapore? i googled, and there were several sites where I could do so (namecheap, godaddy etc) but I wasn't comfortable with going ahead because I had no idea how it worked and what a reasonable price was - it costs 49.99SGD on godaddy.com?

my impression was there would be one global corporation where everyone went to buy domains... why are there so many sites offering this service?

please advise! many thanks.

For domain names there are many "registrars" which handle the domain registration and update the global database. SG domains are more expensive & have extra restrictions such as having to fill up the registrant's IC or Company/ Entity number (Must be a resident person or company in Singapore).
