Registering a unique domain name is absolutly necessary if you want potential customers to take your company web site or blog seriously, and you can select and register a domain name both easily and affordably. This article explains how.
The first step is to select a relative domain name. Your best choice for a domain name will be a name that is both short and catchy, but one that identifies your business. Single word domain names that are short and memorable may not always be up for grabs, however, so it helps to have several alternative names in mind. Let me explain, let’s say you have a blog or website known as “Digital Cameras Review”. A few short and memorable domain names you might come up with could be “camrev.com”, “digirev.com”, or “dcreview.com”. When you enter these names into the domain name registration search utility program, however, you will see that all of these TLD’s are presently registered.
Thankfully, by using the domain name registration search utility, you are given a list of alternative .com’s to select from that might be even catchyer. Let’s look at the other options given for “dcreview.com”: For a business website, you might choose “thedcreview.com”, “newdcreview.com”, or “dcreviewstore.com”; if you have a blog, a couple of good alternatives might be “bestdcreview.com”, or “mydcreview.com”. Of course, if you select any of these alternative options, you will not have a short, two-word domain name for a .com name, and generally it is considered best practice to have a domain name consisting of a maximum of two words.
So what other solutions do you have? You can select to register something different than a .com name and still have your memorable “dcreview” name. Look again at the domain name registration search page, and when you enter “dcreview”, you will see that “dcreview.org” and others (.ca, .net, .mx, .bz) are all available. Any of these will be fine if you do not intend to sell your domain name. If you do intend to sell your domain name at some future date, you should choose a .com name.
Now that you have selected a domain name, you will need to register it so you can use it. After you have selected your name on the domain name registration page, simply click the “Add” button, and then the “Continue to Registration” button. This will take you to the registration page, where you will register your account and then proceed to checkout. Presently, the price for a .com name is a very affordable $9.99/yr. After completing checkout you will be able to manage your domain name and use it however you like, according to the company’s guidelines.
