Domain Names
A domain name is your address on the Internet. It is how
people can find your web site. Businesses typically register
domain names with their company name and individuals sometimes
register family names. Here are some tips for selecting a domain
name:
1. Register Your Domain NOW
If you are even thinking about registering a domain name and
it is available - get it now. Available domain names are
disappearing at the lighting speed.
2. Shorter is better
People need to be able to remember your domain name, and
easily type it into their browser.
3. Extension
There are many different extensions available now. Businesses
should aim for a .com suffix.
4. Avoid Trademarks
If you register a trademarked name the company owning the
trademark can dispute your registration and you will have leave
that domain name.
5. One May Not Be Enough
If you have "yourcompany.com", register "yourcompany.net"
also, so no one else takes it. You can also register your full
company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. You can
even register common misspellings of your company’s name. You do
not need a separate Web page for each because several domain
names can point to the same Website.
