| To
start, you must take time in researching the best domain
name for you. Don't grab the first name you find available.
More often than not, you'll register a domain name, only
to find a better one available the next week.
Take
your time and get it right - the first time.
Step
1: Words and Synonyms
Make a list of keywords related to your
business. Include some powerful, emotion-stirring adjectives,
or at least words that might pique one's curiosity. Put
them together in two or three word combinations. Get creative.
Step
2: Is it already registered ?
Next, check the availability of the name.
This can be done at any domain name registrar such as Dotstar.com
Other
considerations and recommendations: Opt for ".com"
if possible. There may be more options with ".co.uk",
".net" and ".org" (or any of the other
zillion new extensions), but ".com" is still king.
People remember ".com", and again, you don't want
to send prospects to your competitors.
Step
3: Registering your domain name
Once you have found a "benefits-focused"
name, you're ready to buy the domain. Here are few places
you may want to utilize when registering your domain name.
We personally use Dotstar.com.
They offer discounts on registering for more than one year
and park it for free until you are ready to put up content.
Plus, they have a discounted transfer program.
Recommended
domain registrars for .com, .net, .org, .eu and co.uk domains. |
