The next step for domain registration will be setting up name server and domain parking. The name server is the name or IP address of the server where your domain will be pointed to. The parking of a domain means that the domain requires a place for pointing. You will have to be careful of the domain registrars that charge extra fee for domain parking. You can park your domain free of cost.

After setting the name servers and right contact information, it will be necessary for you to lock your domain. After locking the domain, you will not be able to make changes to its contact information or to the settings of the name server, but it will prevent the others from registering the same domain name. You will have to unlock the status to make any changes.
