Web Domain Registration, Domain Names & Hosting

WEB DOMAIN REGISTRATION

Web domain registration is not hard and the fact of the matter is if you want a web site you will need web domain registration. A domain is basically the address for your site on the Internet. Web domain registration is necessary so that two sites are not using the same web domain address.

There are companies that make a business from web domain registration. These web domain registration companies act as the middlemen between the registry that handles the domain names and the ultimate customer. There are 100s if not 1000s of web domain registration companies. Here is the company I use – www.PowderRiverDomains.com.

Web domain registration use to be expensive but now you can find domains for as cheap as $2 a year. Price is not the only thing to consider when looking for web domain registration.

You also need to consider what types of services will you receive: automatic web domain registration renewal; Notice when your web domain registration needs to be renewed; Ease of buying and selling your domain names; Length of web domain registration available and is your web domain registration in your name or the registrars? Also, the ease of buying your domain name needs to be considered. Be careful if the price for web domain registration is too low!

I have found web domain registration companies that only allowed for 1 year web domain registration and the registrations were in the name of the registrar company, not the person that bought the domain name. The above factors are why I chose the web domain registration company I did.

Web domain registration is simple, even if you have never done it. Domain registration is on a first come first served basis so if you find a domain name you want register it fast. First, select a domain name. Most web domain registration companies have a search feature to allow you to search for domain names. Your second step to web domain registration is to decide how long you want to register your web domain for. Search engines consider the length of your registration in evaluating your website. The longer you register, the better.

Web domain registration can be used to generate income. You can park domains, promote them and then resell them when they are popular. A good source of information on this method is Domain Profiteer. You can also do a web domain registration, build a web site, add Google Adsense, drive traffic to your site and earn income from the Adsense ads. A good resource for information on this our Google Adsense page.

DOMAIN NAMES
Domain names help level the playing field on the Internet. There is no way to tell the size of a company based on domain names. Domain names identify your business and are like a street address for your business on the Internet. The selection of good domain names for your business can have a big impact on search engine optimization and the ranking of your website on the web.

When selecting domain names you want to choose domain names that relate to your site. If you are selling apples you want to get domain names with "apple" or "apples" in the name. Keep the name simple and try to get .com domain names. Avoid using numbers in place of words and punctuation marks. The idea is to make your domain names easy to remember. You shouldn't choose domain names with a copyrighted word or term in the title. This could lead to legal problems down the road. You will also want to make sure that you keep the domain name under 67 characters, as that is the maximum length for web addresses.

The shorter the name, the better it is. For it will be easier to remember. It may be difficult to get one word domain names for popular suffixes like .com, .org, .net, .biz, but many are still available from .mobi, .tv, .fm, etc.

Selecting domain names is directly related to web domain registration. Most web domain registration companies have a tool that you can use to search for available domain names.
