What is a domain name?
A domain name is the address of your website and it looks like this: (www.ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com/).
Website addresses are unique, just as your personal ID; no one else in the world
can have the same ID number as you. Likewise, once the domain name has been
registered by you, no one else can register a domain name which is the same
as yours.
Choosing the best domain name
The best name you can choose is always one that follows the theme of your business.
If the theme of business is “starting your online business” then you
should include words like “e-biz” or “internet” or maybe
“internet business” in your domain name.
You see, the best domain names out there are ones that are easily remembered.
Visitors are likelier to come back if they remember your domain name. So, if
you want a great domain name, choose one which is short and easy to remember.
Here are some tips to choose a good domain name: The name you choose should
not exceed 5 words or 20 characters and it should be easy to spell. Try making
use of keywords or popular search terms whenever possible and try not to have
it more than 3 – 4 words long.
Registered vs. Free
Now, it is time to decide between a free domain name and a paid one. Tell me,
what would think if someone is selling a $97.00 ebook using a free domain name?
A big cheapo right? Even If that person is selling a popular ebook that comes
with a 90 day money back guarantee, you’ll probably wonder if he would
ever return the money if you decide to ask for a refund. Here is another point,
If I were to name my business “ebizmodelsyoucancopy”, would it be
much better if I registered www.ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com rather than www.geocities.com/internet/public/business/
ebizmodelsyoucancopy/ ? After all, registering your own domain would cost less
than $15.00 per year. What is $15.00 a year compared to a potential loss of
sales?
Registering a domain name
The last step here is to register a domain name. Write down possible domain
names that you like, then do a quick search to see if that name you want is
available at the registrars website. For your information, most domain names
that you might have thought of would have been already taken. So, you might
have to do a lot of searches to find available domain names of your choice.
Next, Jot down all available domain names you like, then keep searching until
you have about 5 – 7 good names that you can choose from.
Finally, choose a domain name you like best, and register it at a domain name
ICANN Accredited registrar.
