You can pick a different domain name that is available, or you can try to buy the domain you want on the domain aftermarket.
A domain backorder is a service provided by many domain name registrars that sometimes gives you the opportunity to buy domain names that have already been registered.
The registrar will watch the domain you want and attempt to register it immediately if it ever comes available.

TTL stands for “Time to Live.” It is one of the settings on your DNS setup, and it refers to the amount of time a router or server will store the the IP address information in your DNS record.
This has an effect if you change your DNS record. IF you have a very high TTL, some servers will wait the full time before re-checking where requests should be sent. This may lengthen the amount of time domain name propagation lasts.
TTL is one of the fields on a DNS record, so it is edited there. You can usually find it in your hosting control panel under something like Domain Tools or DNS Zone Editor.
Remember that TTL is one of the data points governed by TTL. If you change the TTL for a domain name from 864000 (24 hours) to 300 (five minutes), hoping that it will speed up global DNS propagation, servers and routers won’t see the updated TTL until the check back for the entire DNS record. So, you might want to change the TTL a day or two before your change your IP address, if fast propagation is a high priority.
