Internet Home Business-how to Choose a Domain Name Registrar

By admin on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

To claim a domain name and use it for building your virtual office or website,

you need to go to a domain name registrar, check the availability and register

the name out of available options.

Today there is a plethora of domain name registrars available. But it was not

always so.

Till 1998 Network Solutions was the only company that was authorized to register

the domain name. It lost its monopoly after that and many companies have risen.

While competition is good for the prices, it also adds to the confusion.

When you look for a domain name registrar, you should keep following in mind:

Accreditation: ICANN maintains a list of accredited domain

registrars. The registrar pays application and annual fees to ICANN. A fee is

also paid by the registrar to Network Solutions, the company that maintains the

central registry of domain names. When you choose an accredited registrar, you

ensure that your chosen domain name is officially part of the Internet. A list

of ICANN accredited registrars has been posted in our blog.

Sometimes you might find a webhost or other sites allowing you to register

at their website. These act as reseller to the accredited registrars. In such

cases, they should disclose to you which registrar they represent.

Terms: Be absolutely certain to read and understand what you are getting

before you pay. Read about ownership clause and other terms of condition.

Price: There was time when getting a domain name registered was an

expensive affair. But now you can get a domain name much cheaper. There are many

types of discounts available that vary greatly with registrars. Do check out

various deals.

Duration: Do not register your domain for more than one year in the

beginning. You would like to evaluate your registrar before committing for

further.

Delay: A domain name is generally available within 48 hours after you

register it. Check your registrar’s site to determine how long you will have

to wait. If it says something like 7 days, do not go for that registrar.

Domain transfer: You should be able to transfer your domain name to

another service without any restriction and for a fee not exceeding than fee for

new registration. A lot of registrars also offer free transfer.

Generally there is a restriction on domain transfer for 60 days after you

register your domain. Please check your registrar to find any other restriction

and curbs.

Customer Support: This is another very important aspect. You need a good

support system in case of any problem. Check out if phone or chat support is

available. If Email support is the available support then it should not take

them more than one business day to respond.

Few of the commonly used registrars are mentioned below. If you need to ask some

specific question about some registrar please visit the forums on this topic.

Many people would happily share their experience and guide you.

How to Choose the Right Domain Name for a Successful Web Site

By admin on Sunday, August 29th, 2010 | No Comments

Choosing a domain name may seem like an exercise in frustration, and you may be tempted to register the first one you stumble upon that isn’t already taken.  Slow down!  It requires more thought than that, and your choice will have a tremendous impact on the ultimate success of you Web site.  In this article, we will discuss how to discover a domain name that will work for you.

There are four main concerns when choosing a domain name:

1.  Technical Requirements.

2. A Memorable Name.

3. A Descriptive Name.

4.  Keyword Research.

Technical Requirements for Domain Names

Let’s get the easy part out of the way first.

When we talk about a “domain name,” we’re referring to the part of a Web site address that comes between “www” and “.com.”  For instance, in “wwwYourWebSitecom,” the domain name is “YourWebSite.”  You must register the domain within a particular “top-level domain,” the part that comes after the rightmost “dot,” as in “.com,” “.info,” “.us,” etc.  That is, “YourWebSitecom” is a different domain than “YourWebSiteinfo.”  You might be able to register “YourWebSitebiz,” even though “YourWebSitecom” is already registered.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (“ICANN”) defines what a domain name must look like.  These rules may be summarized as follows:

*  63 or fewer characters.

*  Only numerals, hyphens, and English letters.

*  Must not begin with a hyphen.

*  Must not end with a hyphen.

Unfortunately, it’s not quite that cut and dried.  There are varying interpretations of the rules.  Some say that a domain in a four-character top-level domain (.info, .mobi) can only be 62 characters long.  There are several schemes regarding how to encode non-English letters, etc.

We can avoid getting bogged down in these points of confusion by remembering two things:

1.  You don’t want a long domain name anyway, so don’t worry about whether the limit is 64 or 62 characters.

2.  Non-English letters, encoded in schemes that might not be universally applied, mean that your domain name may look different (and nonsensical) on various parts of the Internet, so don’t use them.

Choosing a Memorable Domain Name

Your domain name must be something that people can remember and that they can type in readily, or recognize at a glance when they see it as a clickable link.

Among other things, this means that your domain name should be short.  All of the genuinely short domain names are already taken.  Virtually every single word in the English language has been registered as a domain name, as has every combination of up to five letters.  So, don’t get too hung up on “short.”  As we will discuss later in this article, you want to find a balance between “short” and “descriptive.”

Although a domain name may include hyphens, you are better off without them.  If you wanted to register “YourDomainNamecom” and found it was unavailable, you will not be doing yourself any favors by registering “Your-Domain-Namecom.”  Users will confuse the two Web sites, and will be more likely to go with the shorter version.

Choosing a Descriptive Domain Name

Your domain name should describe what the user will find on your Web site.

Look for a descriptive phrase about your chosen specialty.  Is your Web site about baby care tips for working mothers?  For parents of babies with special needs?  Whatever specific area you intend to address, put together three or four words that say it.  You don’t have to say it very well, at this point.  As we will discuss shortly, there are tools to help you refine your descriptive phrases.  For now, just come up with a few phrases that describe your Web site’s content in three or four words.

Keyword Research when Choosing a Domain Name

You want your domain name to be short and descriptive.  That means that each word in it must have value.

Keyword research can identify powerful keywords for your Web site’s content, but it can also find words to use in your domain name.  There is one difference, as will be discussed below.

Keyword research identifies the words and phrases that people are using when searching for information related to your planned Web site.  You will use these keywords in your Web site’s content and in any pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns, but you should also use them in your domain name.  A keyword-rich domain name is more likely to rank high in search engine results.

When researching keywords for use in your Web site content or in PPC advertising, you want search terms that are frequently used but rarely matched.  These are the high-value keywords that can make the content of your Web site stand out in the search engines.

However, when you are looking for keywords to use in your domain name, you should concentrate on frequently used keywords, and not necessarily those that are rarely matched.  This is the difference alluded to earlier.

Keyword research can not tell you whether a domain name is available.  It can only tell you what people are looking for and what they are finding in the content of Web pages.  So, identify terms that people are looking for, then determine what domain names are available that use those terms, and you will have a winning domain name.

Take the list of descriptive phrases you identified in the last section, and use each one as the starting point for keyword research.  From your keyword research, build a list of phrases that people are searching for when they want to find the kind of content you plan to offer.

From that list, focus on the shortest phrases that are relevant and clearly descriptive of the content you intend to offer.  Now, check to see which of these phrases are available for you to register as domain names.

What if you find two or more keyword-rich domain names available?  Register all of them!  Choose the one you like best as the main name for your Web site, but keep the others.  You can use them as “redirect” pages, and you always have the option of using the alternate names later.

For the same reason, register your domain name in various top-level domains if they are available, such as .com, .info, etc.  Lock in your options on those alternate names, and lock out your competitors from stealing the results of your research.

Conclusion:  What to Do Next

Before you rush out and register the first available domain name you come up with, do your homework.

*  Think of a short list of descriptive phrases about the Web site you intend to build.

*  Do some comprehensive keyword research on each of those descriptive phrases, and build a list of more keyword-rich descriptive phrases.

*  Choose the shortest, most memorable phrases from your list, and check which ones are available to register as domain names.

*  Register as many of these keyword-rich, descriptive domain names as you can.

How to Choose the Best Domain Name For Your Business

By admin on Friday, August 27th, 2010 | No Comments

Choosing your own domain name is very important and can be critical to your success as a network marketer. Take your time and choose the right one.


Why is it important for you to choose a domain name you are happy with? You need to realize that once you start your business and/or have a lot of customers you will not be able to change your domain name. If you do you will lose all of the advertising exposure for the previous domain name and you will look unprofessional to all your customers.


To set up a domain name you need to find a domain hosting company. There are plenty of hosting companies you can find on the internet and buying your own domain name is not very expensive. You can usually buy domains for $5-$10 a piece, per year.


“Mike’s domain registration rules:” Rule #1: keep it simple. You want to find a domain name that is easy to say, easy to spell, and easy to remember. This is not optional. If you can’t find an address that fits all three of these qualifications, keep looking.


If you are giving your website address to someone over the phone or to a group on a conference call, there can be no room for misinterpretation or spelling errors which means you need to follow the next piece of advice.


Rule #2: Register plural and hyphenated versions. You want to register all plural and hyphened versions of your domain name of choice in order to capture anyone who might misspell the name, and to protect yourself from competition who will intentionally register any domains similar to yours.


Now this is not going to matter much if you are just a tiny fish in the big internet pond and you are aren’t promoting yourself in a massive way. But if you ever start to brand yourself and that domain name, then you need to follow these suggestions.


I recently started a project on creating lead generating capture pages, so the very first thing I did was register several possible domain names for it. (The hyphened and plural versions of each name).


Do not leave a door wide open for a competitor to leech visitors and customers through a similar domain name. You can bet that if I had not registered a hyphenated version of my domain name right after registering my real domain name a cyber squatter would have bought it and would have then owned a very valuable piece of internet real estate. (And he’d probably have a law-suit on his hands).


Always remember that entrepreneurs are opportunistic people by nature. Just do it right the first time and you won’t have to worry about any of these issues.


Rule #3: Use the top “key words” In the domain itself. (But not every time. I will explain why in Rule #5). Search engines give high relevance to sites with top key words in the domain name itself, and a higher relevance for .com names over any of the other extensions like .net .biz . org or .info.


So how do you find the right key words to use? Head to a search engine and go to the resources page for current advertisers, and click on the link for key word selector tool. (Most, but not all, search engines have a tool like this).


Type in a common search term for your category or product or service. Example: If I type “capture pages,” it brings back the following results: The top result is “lead capture pages,” so I would want to try and register something with the words “lead” and “capture,” right in the domain name itself.


NOTE: If the .com version of your preferred domain is unavailable, choose another. You want to have the .com address, because that is what your visitors will automatically type in when going by memory. And if they do not, many will type it in just out of curiosity, and if it is owned by a competitor, you are in trouble.


Rule #4: pay attention to phonics when purchasing a domain name. Try not to use numbers unless you can purchase both the numerical and alphabetical names. If you can find a domain name with both listings available, then go for it.


Rule #5: Register a “generic” domain name that can be used to promote anything now and in the future. Choosing a generic domain name can be very important when generating leads if you are a network marketer. 99% of the time, you do not want to have the name of your company or product in the domain name because your capture page is not going to be promoting your company, it will be promoting you or your business team.


Why? Because I want to keep control of what my prospects see and when. I want to keep control of the presentation of my business and the timeline in which it takes place. My prospect does not know what company I am with until I tell them. They cannot look at my network marketing opportunity website until I give it to them.


Most network marketers will register a domain name with their company name in it, but what if you change companies? What if you decide to leave your vitamin company and decided to sell products for another natural health company? What are you going to do with an email address (that everyone now knows, with your company name in it) when you change companies?


That is why you always register a generic domain name to use for your email correspondence that you can keep forever, no matter what kind of business you decide to build.


I chose a very generic domain name for my first website for this reason: Once you have a generic domain, you can always register another one for your specific opportunity that you can give to your prospects when the time is right. I have purchased over 100 domains in the last year alone. It is like owning cyber real estate.


This is probably going to be a very frustrating process for you if this is your first time

registering a domain name. Why? Because you will soon find out that 19 out of 20 domain names you think of will already be taken. Coming up with something generic is pretty easy though.


Here are a few ideas: Use your name in combination with an extension, like “LLC” or “Inc.” Think of a company name, or “Doing Business As”, name. Once again, keep these three rules in mind; easy to say, easy to spell, and easy to remember. If your last name happens to be Leibowitz, then pick something else!


Rule #6: You want to buy the .com, net, and .biz versions of each domain you choose. When coming out with a new product I might end up buying a total of 15 a domain names: each with a different “.” ending.


You get the idea. Purchasing this many domain names for one project is not necessary, just recommended. So go ahead and make your purchase, but do not buy any of the other services your registration company will want to sell you like traffic generation, search engine submission, etc. You do not need those.


All you need are the domain names, and a basic hosting account which you can set up with any of the many hosting companies.


Start with the domain search box. You will get to know this one well as you search for a name that is actually available. Continue to search until you find a name that meets all of the criteria we have discussed today.


Once you find a name that works, choose to register the .com, .biz, and .info names. Go ahead and start the check out process. Skip all of the extra services they will try and sell you. You do not need them.


I only register my domains for one year at a time to keep costs down. They will automatically renew each year as long as your credit card on file is current. If it is not, your hosting company will notify you.


Congrats! You now own your very first domain name!

How to Choose a Good Domain Name

By admin on Monday, August 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

Use the name people know you by. Don’t abbreviate, unless the abbreviation is your company’s trademark. Ask your co-workers, your customers, your friends, and your family what domain name they’d expect your company to have.

Don’t forget to include your domain name in your site’s logo. And put your domain name on all company promotional materials such as business cards and stationary.

Length Matters

Conventional wisdom states that a good domain name is easy for customers to remember, easy to spell, and short. That said, it’s increasingly difficult to secure short domain names among top level domain names such as .com, .net and ,org. In these cases (and you have 67 characters to choose from), it’s preferable to choose a meaningful statement such as Lawreferralservice.com” or Hotelreservationservice.com,” rather than lrs.com or hrs.com

Give a Good Impression

We all know that first impressions can be crucial, so choose your domain name carefully. Domain names often come without spaces, so pay careful attention to the total package. For example, PatternsExchange can look like patternsexchange.

Select Alternate Names

If your first domain name choice is not available, you can check the “whois” information box for the domain name, contact the person listed, and see if they’re willing to sell it. If they want to sell, they will likely charge more than the $24.95 registration fee. An easier alternative is to register a variation of your first choice.

For example, if your company name is Mrs Smith’s Cookies, but mrssmithscookies.com and the more obvious cookies.com are registered, try adding a small letter such as “e” to indicate that it’s an online business. Or add the word online. Or add your location to attract local customers:

ecookies.com
Cookiesonline.com
CookiesNewYork.com

Alternatively, try registering a local domain name:

mrsmithscookies.ca
mrsmithscookies.us

Use a little creativity, and you may find your alternative beats your original choice. Once you’ve got a list of alternatives for your online business, test them with your friends and colleagues to see which ones they like best. Make sure these names can be easily pronounced and spelled by your test audience. Then, rank them in order of popularity.

Consider Spelling Mistakes

Consider mistakes people will make when typing your web site address and how your domain name sounds when you have to read it over the phone to a customer. Explaining special characters, abbreviations, and spelling is awkward and doesn’t make good business sense. Will customers accidentally make spelling mistakes? Will they use the plural form of a word instead of the singular form, or visa versa? Make a list of possible mistakes, and register additional domain names that incorporate these mistakes.

Register Multiple Versions of Your Name

Register all possible domain name variations related to your company name. If your company’s name is hard to spell, register common misspellings. Register every domain people might use to find your company. It only costs $24.95 a year to register each domain name, and that’s a small expense to keep a customer.

Take this example: Before America Online acquired Time Warner for $178 billion, it registered at least 21 domain names that might be useful to the new company, named AOL Time Warner, from AOLTW.com to AmericaOnlineTimeWarner.com. Alternatively, web sites exist that capitalize on misspellings using them as advertising vehicles and diverting customers from your site.

Register Product Names

When users search the Internet for a particular product or service they often search by product or service, rather than business name. To increase the chances of having your site found, register extra domain names that relate to your core business or products. If you owned the hypothetical company name of Widgets & Widgets co. but you sold an array of household products, you could register generic domain names relating to all aspects of household goods. You may be too late to snap up obvious domain names such as detergent.com or vacuum.com, but a little creative thinking into alternatives can be lucrative. These alternative domains can be easily linked to your main web site.

Avoid Trademarked Names

Ensure someone else has not trademarked the name you register. You cannot register names already registered as copyright (for example, McDonalds). Like company names, domain names are unique and cannot be duplicated. Avoid registering domain names that are similar to your competition or to famous trademarks. Businesses have lost their rights to registered domain names due to conflicts with existing trademarks for off-line companies.

Register Locally

If your company is located in Canada, you can register a .ca domain name even if your business activity includes export trade. If you have an international presence, a top-level domain such as .com, .net , or .org is more suitable. Many businesses choose to register all three, and we suggest doing so. All three addresses can “point” to the same e-mail account and web site.

Conversely, you might open a virtual office in another country. For example, bread.com could also register bread.ca, which may “point” towards the same site, attracting a larger audience. Don’t forget to check to see if a local presence is required in the country you wish to register.

Use a metaphor

If your .dot com businesses does not have a name, the world is your oyster. One Internet incubation company decided on the metaphor campsix, referring to the final basecamp on the Everest climb rather than a straight description of services. The name reflected the difficulty and challenges of building an Internet company to the scaling of Everest. Bear in mind that if your web site is the primary tool for business, the company name must be the company URL.

Some Simple Methods and Tricks to Choose the Best Expired Domain Name

By admin on Friday, August 20th, 2010 | No Comments

Choosing a good and workable expired domain name could be very confusing and tricky; most of us tend to choose and pick one that will eventually turns out a dud and wastage of time and money. Picking a good domain from thousands upon thousands may pose you some problems, because you just can’t buy one looking at its name and syntax. Before choosing any, you will need to follow a strict guideline and protocol considered to be the norm of the business.

Several types of expired domain names could be purchased through a vendor. There are some perceptible differences that exist in the nature of the nomenclature of the domain names. Even though, a shorter version is costly, there are some longer domain names that are excellent as well. Before choosing one, you will need to look the following aspects that usually make expired domain names priceless and premium.

Top level domains: Many of the premium expired domain names are usually top level and you just have to type their name on the address bar of the browser to navigate to the web site.

Top level expired domain name is easy to remember and recall: It is very crucial to pick up a top level domain name because people can easily recall the URL of the web site. Big league names like Yahoo, Google and MSN are easy to recall web URLs that are so premium and rare.

Proprietary nature: Most of the famous web URL’s have one thing in common; each of them represent a particular business idea or concept. As you look at their name, you can easily create in instant opinion about what they sell and deal with. For example: Look at Amazon.com or Half.com.

Choosing a good expired domain name is as critical as creating a great looking web site. If possible, go for a top level domain and as far as possible, avoid a sub domain that resides within a main domain. Here is a classical example:

Let us say that you have a memento selling business and you wish to go online to sell your products. Now, if you wish to buy an expired domain name, which one of the following do you prefer?

a) http://www.freewebsite.com/yourname/memento,

b) http://www.your-online-memento-store.com,

c) http://www.YourOnlineMemento-CompanyName.com

d) http://www.BuyMemento.com

Without any doubt, it makes a perfect sense to buy the last domain name (http://www.BuyMemento.com). The reasons are very simple and straightforward: The simpler and brief you are, more visible and credible you will be! People flock to buy only simple and top level type of expired domain names. A simple top level expired domain name is more productive, result oriented and it offers better leverage to the owner. Such domains also offer and fetch you instant results and enhanced acceptance from site visitors. If you are intending to sell expired domain names to prospective buyers, your main goal should focus on buying those domains that are top level and effective in their nature.

How to choose the right domain name for your company

By admin on Friday, August 20th, 2010 | No Comments

As the editor of DomainNameWire.com, I’m
frequently e-mailed by people asking for domain name advice.
Specifically, what should they look for when registering a
domain name for their company? This may be basic for some of
you, but I hope some of my readers gain value from this.

Let me start with the things to avoid when registering a domain
name that will be used for your main company web site.

1. Never use a hyphen. If your domain is some-name.com, many
people will forget the hyphen when typing your name into the
browser or sending e-mail to you. This can result in lost
business. 2. Avoid digits if possible. Using digits requires you
to spell the domain name out to people. For example2.com, you
need to tell people it’s the digit “2″ rather than the word
“two” or even “to”.

Here are the positive things to look for in a domain name.

1. .Com extension. It’s imperative that your domain name be
available with a .com extension. I’ve seen businesses and major
web sites try to get away with .net or .org, and perhaps half of
their intended visitors land on someone else’s web site. Or
worse, confidential e-mails are sent to the wrong domain. 2.
Easy to spell. Keep in mind that your spelling might be better
than most people! 3. Short. Try to keep it to 2 words, 3 maximum
and 20 characters or fewer.

These are general guidelines applicable to your main company
domain name. There are instances where hyphens, numbers, and
non-.com domain extensions are fine for secondary sites and
search engine-optimized sites. But your company’s main domain
should follow these general guidelines. Good luck

popular news and opinion site for the domain name industry.

How to Choose a Reliable Domain or Web Host

By admin on Monday, August 9th, 2010 | No Comments

There are several factors to consider when selecting a preferred domain or web hosting company. I consider the following factors as important in your choice of web host:

1. Reliability. It is vital that you choose a web hosting company that is reliable. A Web host that has a good reputation. You will find this out by looking at the reviews for the company in a search engine. Reliability means that they deliver what they claim and the customers web sites are always on. i.e. 99.9% of the time. You can also tell from the testimonials of the existing customers. You can also gauge the reliability from the Awards earned in the industry.

2. Hosting Details. Look at the details of the offer and compare it with what you want. Is it Linux or Windows Hosting? Most websites are hosted on Linux servers, so go for Linux Hosting. In case you intend to use scripting languages like ASP/ASP.NET v 2.0 or databases like Microsoft SQL, ODBC/DSN then it is advisable that you go for the Windows Hosting option.

Also look at other details like Disk space that is being offered, and bandwidth. Are Instant backups offered? Do you have an option to host multiple domains? If you wish to run a blog, is this option offered (Fantastico)? If you intend to run an e-commerce site, find out whether the e-commerce feature is offered. Look at the databases and scripts that are supported. Look at the Email options as well.

What about the cPanel? I consider this very important. Inquire about the cPanel or control panel which is where you will be doing the customization of your website. It should be user-friendly and allow you customize your website to your satisfaction.

Hosting Plans. Choose between Shared (Virtual) Hosting, Dedicated Hosting and Reseller Hosting. In case you have an individual website or a small business site, then opt for the Shared or Virtual Hosting plan. In case you intend to run larger or complex sites, then opt for Dedicated Hosting.

Reseller Hosting. Incase you are a web designer, sign up for this plan; you manage your clients’ websites from one single control panel without the need to remember multiple logins and passwords on different web hosts.

In case you intend to move your domain from one host to another, find out how easy it is to do so. Does the new host support you? Most will offer free support for your domain transfer, website transfer, MySQL transfer, and transfer of other scripts that you might have on your existing website.

3. Customer Service/Phone Support/Live Chat Support/Email Support.

This is a very crucial factor. When there is a problem with your domain or website, you will need to be attended to ASAP. Find out whether all or most of the support mentioned above is offered 24/7. Try out the Live Chat facility before you sign up and see how quickly you are attended to. Call the Phone support line and see how well you are attended to. When you are convinced go ahead and sign up.

4. Price. This will give you an idea whether the offer fits your budget and whether it is within the market rate. Also find out whether you are given your money back in case you are unhappy with the service. Usually a 30 or 45 day full money back guarantee is offered.

5. Network and Data Infrastructure. Inquire about the infrastructure and the redundancy or backup measures available when there is a problem. If you can, find out how well they prepare and adapt to the latest technologies in the industry.

The above mentioned factors should give you an excellent idea of your ideal domain or web host. I wish you the best as you select your preferred domain or web host.

How to Choose a Domain Name to Maximize Your Success

By admin on Sunday, August 8th, 2010 | No Comments

My first piece of advice is not to choose a domain too quickly; make sure you have taken the time to fully plan your website or product before searching for available names.

Here are three questions to ask yourself BEFORE choosing a domain name:

What you will be offering?
Who you will be targeting?
What will your ‘keywords’

will be? (There’s more on ‘keywords’ a little later on.)

If you can’t answer these questions, have another think or you might have to buy another domain if you change your idea at a later date. If you do have to change it, don’t just forget about the domain and let it expire, try and sell it at www.sedo.com or www.sitepoint.com for a profit; or at least to break even on the cost of the original purchase.

Try hard to think of a name that people will remember and do your best to make it catchy! Even though some of the most successful online businesses, such as ‘Google’ and ‘Yahoo’ have names that in no way relate to their services, their names are very easy to remember and as a result they can be successfully promoted as a brand. However, trying to find a good unregistered 5 or 6 letter .com domain is almost impossible. You could buy one but it will probably cost you in excess of $10,000 so only take this risk if you are 100% sure your idea is going to quickly turn a profit.

Finding a free .com extension:

Trying to find any name that hasn’t already been taken can be surprisingly difficult let alone finding a good ‘.com’. The vast majority of quality .com extensions were taken long-ago so you might have to look at a few other options. Here’s a list of some other extensions you can use but having said that, try your utmost to get a .com if you possibly can:

.org   - Non-profit organizations.
.biz   - For business and Corporations.
.pro   - For Professionals such as lawyers.
.info   - For information based websites.
.us   - United States.
.co.uk   - United Kingdom/England.
.tv   - Vanity domain from the island of Tuvalu in the south pacific.
.net   - General internet usage.

You will also need to make sure that your domain extension relates to both your website genre and your location.  For example, if you’re creating a website for selling beds in Washington DC, you obviously don’t want to use a .cn (China) extension. Obvious I know, but the mistake is often made. If the .com isn’t available go for a .net, .biz or a .info.

As I’ve just mentioned, the other option is you can buy an already registered domain name at www.sedo.com. It’s certainly something to consider and I’ll tell you why a bit later on. I will also tell you how to make thousands of dollars using Sedo.com with only a few hours work.

Here are ten more questions to ask yourself once you have thought of a domain name for your business or website:
1. Is your name short and memorable?
2. Does your name promise a benefit?
3. Does your name accurately reflect what you’re selling?
4. Does your name distinguish your business from your competitors?
5. Does your name create a visual image?
6. Does your name appeal to your target market and does it reflect their values, needs, and lifestyles?
7. Does your name have graphic possibilities?
8. Is your name unique and has it already been trademarked?
9. Will your name allow you to expand your business with different products and services and still make sense?
10. Does your name reflect a position in the marketplace that is unique to your company?
Once you have your name decided, go to domain or a similar site to register it.
