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

Because to make life easier for people creating and running websites, ICANN made a rule that they only accept new domain name registers from accredited registrars who also pay fees to ICANN
