The way to register a domain name is by signing up with a service that provides domain names called a registrar. ICANN is the main organization that provides standards and procedures for domain name registrars to be certified.
The master database domains that are on InterNIC servers can only be accessed and modified by a domain name registrar. The registers have special domain name and they determine the fee for you too.
Domain names can be used for branding purposes, and also you use a domain name to create an identity on the Web. You must come up with a domain name that will catch people’s attention. You can use your business name as your URL. If the name of your company is currently in use, then obtain a URL name similar to what your business is. Purchasing a business name domain name isn’t the only way to go, and when a keyword domain name could do just fine.
Be sensible selecting a domain name for your website, your URL will influence your commercial activity both online and offline. To make your web site popular avoid using long or difficult domain names. Short domain names register better with people’s memory and are easy to remember.
First you pick a domain name and then you register the name with an official registrar. A one time only set up charge will probably be included in the fee for the technical work that needs to be completed. For your Web site hosting you could pay your provider in a monthly, semi-annual or annual fee.
Many domain registrar services have competent online tools to help you get your domain name and hosting site up and running.
It will be better if you can purchase a .com domain name, opposed to a .net, .info, .biz or anything else. If your chosen domain name is not available in a .com, keep looking until you find one that isn’t taken. It sounds like you’ve been on the net a long time, when you have a com extension. There is nothing wrong with the other extensions, but most of people feel more comfortable in a .com site.
One strategy for staying ahead of your competitors is to investigate how long they have had their domain names registered. If your domain name expires, there’s a good chance that someone will register your domain name immediately after it expires. If you lock your domain name down with a long-term renewal, you push off its expiration for a while, keeping those who jump at the chance to scoop up expired domains at bay.
Never forget that your domain name is an extension of your business. It is part of your brand and an important part of your marketing strategy.
