Getting The Right Domain Name

Getting The Right Domain Name

Once you are comfortable with working online, you should buy a domain name for your site or sites. Domain name registration, if you do it right, is one of the key components of having your site rate high in the search engines. The right domain name is memorable, and can get your site to rank higher than other names. The wrong domain name won't do you any good at all.

The Basics of Domain Name Registration


The first thing you have to do is come up with a good domain name for registration. Don't even think about a one-word domain name; they're all gone at this point. Instead, come up with dual-word combos. If you're putting together a professional site, try your name before anything else.

Don't get fancy with spelling when selecting your domain name registration, or use 2s and 8s to represent their sounds. You can try the number 1; that sometimes works. You can also try the names of products you offer, or a description of your site content offerings: Romanceforgirls, popcornpalace, fluffykittens. Memorable is always better; short and memorable is best, but very difficult to accomplish.

Come up with a couple of dozen names that will do for your site, and test them on a registry. Don't buy a domain name for which the .com extension is gone, but you have access to the .net or .info. These domain names are not by any means as valuable as the .com. If you pick up the .com, though, and you expect the site to be lucrative or have a lot of competition, it's not a bad idea to pick up the other extensions as well. Domain name registration is NOT expensive, and if you register in bulk you can get an even better price.

The .UK Extension

This doesn't mean you should avoid anything but .com. If you have a business in the United Kingdom, you have access to the .uk domain name set, which UK customers are likely to look at before anything else for UK-specific businesses.

If you anticipate most of your business will come from British customers who are aware your business is in Britain, the .uk extension may be a better choice than the .com; and if your customers are unhappy with Internic's control of Internet domain registration or they are very pro-Britain, the .uk extension is certainly a better choice.

If you're fortunate enough to find both extensions for your domain open, and if you run a British company, it doesn't cost much to buy them both, and you definitely should.

It also gives your online presence an immediate "identity" geographically which can be crucial in building online relationships- where trust is a key component. By being a .UK domain, you are very likely to gain UK clients.

The .UK domains market is one of the fastest growing and lucrative registration areas on the internet.

Tips for Domain Name Registration

Have a website ready to plunk into your domain as soon as you buy it, and submit it immediately to the search engines. The search engines take time to index new sites and your domain name registration is only as valuable as the search engines make it.

You can also have more than one domain name pointing at a single site. If you've bought multiple extensions for your domain name (as in the previously-suggested .com/.uk combination), you can set up your site under one domain name and then direct traffic from the others to the main site. This is called web traffic forwarding and has been around for years. It may be as simple as parking your domain name on a server and putting a line of code on the page, or as complex as going through another website to use their online web forwarding services.

When you do register a domain and start building traffic to it, go out and renew for multiple years before your renewal is due. It is surprisingly easy to forget to register your domain name on time, and if someone else sneaks in and registers it, you've just lost a ton of work on that domain.

By making your domain name memorable, you will help other webmasters remember your site easily when building anchor texts in their links- a crucial component of SEO.

Final tip: don't just think about price when looking for a domain registration company- also think about quality of service. While you shouldn't be paying over the odds, it really is better to be safe than sorry and go with the more established registrars. Then you can have peace of mind that should any problems arise, you will be well looked after.

Generic Top Level Domains


Generic Domain Extensions


Generic Domain extensions like those listed below are still the most common and popular domain registration extensions. Often companies will register their domain on a generic extension like .com or .org, and protect their name by registering the same domain on any and all international, specialty, and alternative extensions. This strategy not only allows for future development of localized websites for international markets, but protects your domain name, brand, and trademark all over the globe. It all begins with the most important extensions, which are still the generic ones.

.com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .asia.com, .coop, .aero, .name, .museum, .pro, .jobs, .travel, .mobi, .cat, .law.pro, .med.pro, .cpa.pro, .eng.pro, .avocat.pro, .bar.pro, .recht.pro, .jur.pro, .aaa.pro, .aca.pro, .acct.pro, .arc.pro, .bus.pro, .chi.pro, .chiro.pro, .den.pro, .dent.pro, .prof.pro, .teach.pro, .nurse.pro, .prx.pro, .pharma.pro, .rel.pro, .min.pro, .vet.pro, .cfp.pro, .ntr.pro, .opt.pro, .pha.pro, .pa.pro, .pod.pro, .psy.pro, .ed.pro, .pt.pro, .pr.pro, .nur.pro, .dds.pro, .tel

International Domain Extensions

The internet is, by its very nature, above and beyond international borders, but if you want to protect your company's brand and domain name around the world, the best way to do it is to secure your domain registration portfolio with international domain extension registrations. This will not only protect your name, but will allow for future expansion into those markets with localized websites. Below is a list of available international extensions.

Avoid registering anything that has a trademarked name as part of the domain name. Don't register anything with "Microsoft" as part of the name. "Google" is a more common word, but still, be careful. There are many websites where people discuss the latest trends or interest. It is a great resource if you are looking for a specific trend. Some social websites have Top Ten searches that show you what people are interested in and reading about. Another way to determine what might make a good domain name; find out what people are searching for on the web.
You can do this using the most top keyword searches. This step should be done after investigating at what other people are buying online and the trends being talked about on the Internet. After the initial research period you can still think up your own. Or, maybe you have an inside scoop on a new trend. Watching celebrities and what makes the news is a creative way to spot trends and figure out some great domain names. Just be careful not to tread too strongly on any name brands that are protected under trademark law.
A great resource for new ideas is the news media. One can get up to the minute news on global events that are of interest to everyone. Research new products on the market and what experts foresee to be the business trends in the future. This can all be valuable information for domain names that might be valuable in the future.
What is the best domain to buy and sell?
Most sales are in the.com domain extension, although the.org and.net are starting to show some good sales in the higher price ranges. 47,420,000 domains are registered each year and 42,600,000 domains are transferred to new owners each year, which is a potential of 90 Million customers. Domain Flipping can generate profits in the 1000%-10,000% percent range.When you find a really good domain name... hold on to it. It may be tempting to quickly sell a domain for $2,000 that you only paid $10 for, but if it's a exceptional find, you may want to hold on to it for 4 years and sell it for $15,000. There will always be a market for.com domains.
