Choosing a domain name with ease

Tuesday, 30 January 2007

Building a website with a domain name helps your visitors to remember your site easily. Get a catchy and short domain name helps in every way. Registering a domain name is easy. Just search the Internet using Yahoo! or Google and you will get many free services to register a domain.

However as a word of caution choose the right place to shop for your domain name. I’ve had a bad experience where my domain name was stolen by the company that I performed a search on. Few months back before establishing DotMySpot.com, I’ve actually planned to roll out my site named Online-Secret.com. While shopping, I did numerous searches using the free service offered by the hosting company. I found out that someone registered and parked my domain name few days later. *What a bummer*

Coming back to the topic, registration of a domain can costs you from nothing up to $15 or more a year. Getting a web hosting package together with a domain name might be cheaper than just registering a domain name.

Here are some tools to help you pick a good domain name. It helps you to search and suggest available domain names together with multiple choices of words to help you match the right one for you.
