First, you should decide what kind of domain you want.  Also, read the 
following faqt on how much domains cost:

If you want a .com .net or .org domain a few of the most popular sites 
are:
  http://www.godaddy.com/
  http://www.gandi.net/
One company you should NOT purchase from is Network Solutions, they are 
evil and overly expensive.
If you want a country-specific domain, then there are as many place to 
buy them from as they are country TLDs.  Here's a resource that links 
to country specific registrars:

It would of course be best to either get a Generic TLD domain 
(com/net/org), or one that is from your own country.
Your Internet Service Provide most likely sells domains as well, and/or 
your Web host.  Checking with them is also an option and might be less 
trouble/work for you albeit a little more expensive.
