The Complete Guide To Domain Registration

Choosing a domain name is one of the most important steps that you can make for your business. So it is very important that you get this step right. The domain will represent your business and for many prospective customers this will be very important.

The name represents the i.p. address of the computer that your server points to. So for example if you type in a name in your browser it will redirect to the i.p. address where your server is located using a DNS server.

You need to first decide where you are going to register the name. There are several key factors that you need to consider. Look for a competitive price and use a provider that is reputable. Many of the providers charge too much money so try to avoid this common trap. I use Dotster as they are reliable and charge reasonable rates.

When choosing the name make sure that it represents your business identity. If you think about Google's success, much of it is because they chose a very good name that created a very strong brand. A short catchy name that is easy to remember is best.

If you make the terrible mistake of choosing the wrong name it may have a huge impact on your website. For example when you attract a visit they may only click on the url because it has a certain symbolic meaning. When they get to your website and it is not congruent with your business identity it may have a negative effect on the response of your visitor which will decrease your sales.

Once you have found a name that you are satisfied with it is very important that you check to see if it has already been taken. Once verified that it is available you can go ahead and register the domain.
