Now that you are ready to go online with your business, you must select a domain name and proceed with registering web address. Create a domain name that is short, memorable and related to your business.

After you come up with a name for your site, the next thing you should do is to acquire exclusive ownership on your domain name. This can be done through registering web address and trademark.

Your internet service provider (ISP) can help you in registering web address for a small fee. You can also register on your own via a number of different domain name registration services.

If you do undertake registering web address on your own, you will find the process simple. Domain name registrars only require you to choose a name, an internet host, and pay the annual fee. But as more businesses come online every year, registering domain becomes a tedious process. Your preferred domain name might no longer be avalaible and so you have to start the process all over again.

You will have proprietary rights over your domain name like any trade name, logo or brand name. Thus, if you are serious about your Web site, you should register its domain name as a trademark. Otherwise, check if the name does not infringe on another company’s mark. This is to ensure that you will not undergo an intellectual-property suit after registering web address.

To do a trademark search, you can visit the Web site of the government’s patent and trademark office. Type the word or phrase on the search window. After you have done so, you will know of any similar names before making a choice and registering web address.

Remember that registering a domain name will strengthen your power to enforce your rights against infringers and prevent someone else from using it. Through domain name registration, you will have a wider opportunity to reach prospective customers.
