I’ve been looking through the internet and i haven’t found an answer, everything i find is saying i should use a website like godaddy to register it to my name but i need to pay a yearly quota and it leaves me asking myself why can’t i just grab a URL not owned by anyone else

Urls need to be registered with registrars. These are servers that respond to DNS requests to find IP addresses to correspond to a domain name. This is what you are paying for.

If you just say wghidsymkilo.com belongs to me. Sure you can do that for free, but unless you register it, it’s never going to be useable as a domain.
