Your Domain Name
A
domain name is your address on the world wide web of the
Internet, just like http://www.internetmarketinglearningcenter.com.
Internet experts agree that
if you really want to make it a success on the Internet, you should have your own domain name.
Like your physical address, your domain name impresses upon
your guests and visitors that you are reliable and a genuine
business entity.
Note that there are many free services on the Internet
that offer free domain and hosting sevices. However, if you are the more serious Internet entrepreneur you should
establish your permanent online presence
and therefore the necessity of having your own domain name and web host. The part of web site hosting is
discussed somewhere else in this web site, specifically
here.
Before you register your domain name, you must first list down all the probable names that your web site will carry.
Below are some tips on choosing your domain name.
Experts agree that you choose a name that is likely to attract attention and is easy to remember.
Choose the .com extension as this is the extension that majority of the people remember first (the .com
extension means that your site is a business or a commercial site.)
Provide a name that will help increase your search engine ranking. A good way to achieve this is to go to a keyword
search engine and key in
a phrase containing your proposed domain name. From the result, you will discover the keywords that are often searched.
This will give you enough idea on your domain name.
Before you go out and register your domain name,
check first if your planned domain name is still available,
with any of the following free services:
Better-Whois.com
AccessWhoIs.com
EasyWhoIs.com
One company where you can register a Domain Name is at
Catalog.com. They have a domain name registration with cheap
hosting package, plus they offer a time-tested reliable service.
After you have decided on - and subsequently registered - your domain name, the next task for you is
to find a host server to which your domain name will be pointing to. This is the location of your web site,
and it is located on your web site host.
