Well.. what do you want to do with it? Develop it? Sell it? Park it?

You will have to be a bit more specific.

kaliphornia is an unknown quantity at this point
 



I'm very new at this too, but you must first park your domain somewhere and then use what's called domain forwarding. This means that when someone types your new domain into their address bar, they would end up at http://parkatek.mihopa.com instead. It can be set up in such a way that their address bar still shows the domain they typed in instead of http://parkatek.mihopa.com, something called masking. http://www.godaddy.com has a good FAQ section that lays out exactly how to do this for domains parked on their DNS servers. I would imagine other hosts that will park domains have similar "how-to" sections in their support documentation.

I think the next stage after you got some domain names is to develop a simple website yoursef or buy some low cost website to get a feeling of how to develop a domain name to a bigger picture. I believe that is where the domain name's ultitmate home. Parking a domain name just not domain's purpose of life. (That is my opinion only.)
