Domain transfer process
Domain name transfers is the act of designating a new registrar with the authority to add, modify, and delete information about the domain name. The usual process of a domain name transfer is:
1. The Buyer contacts the new registrar with the wish to transfer the domain name to their service and provide
auth code provided by the seller registrar
2. The new registrar will contact the old registrar with this information
3. The old registrar will contact the seller to confirm the authenticity of this request
4. The old registrar will then release authority to the new registrar
5. The new registrar will notify the end user of transfer completion
6. After this process, the new registrar becomes one's designated registrar and all correspondence shall be done with them

Domain Registration and Transfer
Once you have found the name you want you need to get it transfered to your own registrar or you need to open an account with the registrar the domain is curently registered with and ask the seller to push the domain to your account. If the name is availlable then it's only a mater of paying the yearlly fee associated with that type of names. (As low as 7$/Year for .com)
It is very important you use an ICANN acredited registrar, keep in mind that you do not need to use the registration offered by most shared hosting services since they are for the most part resseller for bigger player and may even keep the real control of your domain by giving you access only to a control frontend made with an api.
Once you have a registered or purchassed a name you can think about getting your own shared hosting services and point the domain DNS to your hosting provider DNS (usually NS1.SOMEHOSTING.COM, NS1.SOMEHOSTING.COM)
Once the DNS are changed both your OLD and NEW server will be serving your pages depending on the location of the visitor eventually the old server will stop receiving visitor once the new DNS information will have propagated worldwide, this may take up to 72 hrs
