Domain Name Registration - Read this before registering your next Domain!If you're thinking about starting your own website, you have come to the right place to get jump-started!Starting your company website is one of the first things that should come to mind when beginning any new business these days. Regardless of what type of business you are starting or are already in, your first step is to register your domain name. In the old days (Pre-1994) registering a domain name for your new website usually cost you $50 or more. These days it is just a fraction of that. Now days, most domain registration websites charge less than $9.95 to register a new name and some of them charge as little as a $1.99 when you combine your domain registration with another service or item on their websites. Registering your domain name is easy! You want your domain name to be simple, straight to the point, and as few words as possible. This is for many reasons. For one, the simpler the name, the easier it is to remember. It is also quicker to jot down by hand if someone wanted to write it down on a note for later and there is less of a chance they will mis-spell your domain name. Domain names that are shorter with fewer words also tend to index higher in the search engines (giving you more traffic/visitors to your website). Many people seem to think that your domain name has to be a generic name like "cars.com" if you are selling cars. For example, how much money those generic names are being sold for. But if you were really looking for a car, you'll probably already have some brands in mind, and you're more like to try typing in specific makes like Toyota.com or Nissan.com rather than a generic domain name like cars.com. This is why a name that matches your brand and industry is very important. The name that you use to advertise your product is the optimal name you will want for your domain. This is because that is the first thing people will try when searching for you. It is also the easiest thing for them to remember. |
