Why Should I Register A Domain Name?

Registering a domain name is the first step to publishing your website. Your domain name is essentially a personal web address that allows others to locate your website in the entire topology of the Internet.

Before I Register A Domain Name

Before you register a domain name, you need to come up with a short list of possible domain names for your website. Brainstorm with your partners, friends, or any of your website collaborators.

It is important that you have several options to choose from, because domain registration is a very competitive market. Thousands of new domains are grabbed every month.

If you’re just starting now, there’s a fairly good chance that your first choice is no longer available.

There are no rules for selecting a domain name. But make sure that it conveys what your website is all about. Also consider adding relevant keywords or phrases, but stick to short syllables and everyday language. The trick is to register a domain name that’s concise and easy to remember.

Once you’ve established a list of domain name options, you may now proceed to the actual registration process.

How Can I Register A Domain Name?

Follow these simple steps:

1. Use any search engine to look for a domain name registrar, a company accredited to sell domain names. As you might expect, the search engine will give you several pages of domain registrar listings. Note that each registrar will give you the same list of available domain names, but the prices and packages may vary.

2. Try one domain name registrar and check for the availability of your list of possible domain names. If the top option is no longer available, try the next one, then the next, and so on and so forth. For variety, experiment with different extensions until you find an available domain that suits your needs.

3. Once you’ve found an available domain name, visit other registrar websites. Compare the fees and registration options of as many registrars as possible. Packages vary according to terms of domain ownership, which range from a year to five years. Look for the most cost-effective option.

4. Don’t forget to read the registration agreement and the renewal policy. Evaluate these documents carefully and be sure that you understand each one completely. If you’re happy with the terms, proceed with the next step.

5. Now, you’re ready to register your domain name. Simply provide your credit card details, and point and click as instructed.

6. Within a few minutes to an hour after completing this process, a confirmation email will be sent to you, with instructions to access your new domain name.

7. Congratulations, you have now successfully registered a domain name!
