Like bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, j.mp, migre.me etc. use their own domain extension .ly, .gl, .gd, .mp, .me etc. How can I create my own personalize domain extension like .gbsif? Please help.
You can't. Only IANA can.
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain
Here's a list of available TLDs:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
You can run your own nameserver and add a new tld there. But this won't help you much, as the TLD will only be visible to the users who are using your own nameserver.
The "official" TLD like ".ly" are countries, see: official list
The ICANN website does have a Contact page, and one subject category is "New gTLDs", so they probably get requests like this a lot. I don't know if they'd actually create an extension just for you, but if they get a lot of the same requests, I'm sure they'd do something about it.

I have on website but this site has no meaning full domain name but have good ranking on internet. I want to make this like this website will be pointed by two different domain names.
please suggest me that how can i do this. please give me easy steps for doing this.
Thanks
Under each of your domains you should have DNS settings so go there and put the same DNS for each domain or you can set DNS for the first on and redirection for the second one.
You can just setup DNS records for both domains to point to the IP of your server.
If you have virtual hosts configured on your server, you may need to create an entry for both domain names.

I registered several domain names (.de, .com) but even if I order the option to hide my whois record, it seems, there is always a way to retrieve my personal informations anyway (don't want everybody to be able to see where I live etc.).
There is surely a point I missed, or misunderstood.
Could someone clarify this to me?
There needs to be valid contact information in the whois database for a .com domain.
Some hosting providers offer privacy packets to hide your information.
I’m not sure if you can do the same with a .de domain name
You may enable or disable the privacy protect during your domain registration process.
But, the Privacy Protect option is not available for the following domain names: CA, .CO.NZ, .NET.NZ, .ORG.NZ, .TEL, .DE, .EU, .ES, .CO.IN, .NET.IN, .ORG.IN, .GEN.IN, .FIRM.IN, .IND.IN, .CO.UK, .ME.UK, .ORG.UK, .IN, .US, .ASIA.

three month ago I have site registered at co.cc. I want to know how they create domain name like ".cc" not ".com". I never seen site like this and .cc is not standard domain. So my question is how they create their own domain name? can I create my own domain like www.abc.jagdish insteda of www.abc.com?
I want to know how they create domain name like ".cc"
That is a (completely standard) country code top level domain, specifically the one for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. They got the domain by being the official registrar for that country or by buying it from them.
To create your own CCTLD you would first have to found a country. That seems like an excessive expense for the purposes of having a custom TLD.
You can't create your own domain. Wait it is possible to register your own extension but it will cost roughly $300k
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible
organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
http://www.icann.org/
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
You could apply for your own gTLD, it will cost you though. A couple of hundred thousand USD at least.

Pretty much what the title says. I purchased a .com domain for my first personal site ever from gandi.net and I purchased shared hosting space from lithium hosting.
I haven't found any specific instructions for how to make the domain name use the hosting space I purchased, so if you guys could advise me on that, it'd be fantastic!
Thanks!
Typically you log in to the place you registered the Domain (gandi.net) and there should be a place to configure the Name servers for that domain. Lithium hosting should have info somewhere on what their nameservers are, so find that and put them on gandi.net. There maybe some additional setup you have to do on the Lithium side as well (like telling them what domain name you are hosting on their services).
You will have to point domain NameServers to your hosting eg NS1.YOURHOSTING.COM NS2.YOURHOSTING.COM, that is in your case pretty much it.
NS1.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.230.74
NS2.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.44.168
You have to tell the people from whom you purchased the domain that they should point it to your webspace which is identified by an other name or an ip address. Look for something like "CNAME Resource Record" or "A Resource Record".
If you cannot find a menu on the site to do this just contact the support.

If someone wants a .LY TLD (top level domain) or .IO TLD, how do I determine which domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Register.com) supports the purchasing of this TLD?
If you are looking for a registrar for a niche domain the best way could be you visit the Registry's web site. These may list authorised registrars. The problem with going to non authorised registrars is that they will in turn have to go via a authorised registrar and that will only put up the price you pay.
The list of .IO registrars can be found here: http://www.nic.io/registrars.html
The list of .LY (Libya) registrars can be found here: http://www.nic.ly/lyregistrars.php
UPDATE 13/3: The best place to find a list of registrars is the Registry's web site which is normally located at http://www.nic.[TLD]. There is a list of ICANN-Accredited Registrars which can be found at http://www.icann.org/en/registrars/accredited-list.html
Hope that this helps.
