Domain Name Registrations

What is a domain name and why do I need to register one?

A domain name looks like this, www.yourdomain.com and will act as your website’s physical address. The domain name is your website’s identity and will let customer’s know how to reach you.

The domain name should be relevant to whatever company or product you are promoting. You will have the option to choose between multiple extensions. The most popular are listed below.

.com    – Commercial (most recognized)
.net    – Network
.org    – Organization
.biz    – Business
.tv     – TV
.mobi    – Mobile phone

* I personally recommend to stick with the .com extension if possible.

Here are some tips to help you choose a great domain name for your website.

1. If you find a domain name that you like – register it! Don’t wait before it’s gone.

2. Choose a domain that reflects exactly what your website is all about.

3. Try to use a keyword phrase for your domain name.

4. Choose a name, which is easy to remember.

5. The shorter the name the better! The domain is much easier to type, much easier to remember, and much easier to spell.

How much does a domain name cost?

Registering a domain name is very affordable which is why most businesses purchase more than one. The domain names are very affordable at $9.99 a year.
 

I recommend GoDaddy (This is an affiliate link. If you choose to purchase through my affiliate link, I will get paid a commission. Thank you) when purchasing a domain because of their Masking features and incredible customer service. If you would rather purchase your domain directly through GoDaddy please go to www.GoDaddy.com.

Here is a video which goes through the process of purchasing a domain name.
