Like how do people sell domains and could I take one for myself without using their services?

And most importantly, where does it (the domain) come from?

You buy it from a [domain name registrar](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_registrar). There’s a bunch out there.

[ICANN lookup](https://lookup.icann.org) gives you the ability to look up the registration data for domain names
