Create a Website Domain Name (website.com or website.net, etc.)
Let's say that you have an idea and want to build a Website, and you have come up with a cool domain name that you want to use for your website. You aren't sure when you will be able to start to build your website itself, but you want to make sure that nobody else gets the idea and takes that domain name. Say your domain name is Coolwebsite.com. What you want to do is check the domain name registry and make sure it's not already taken. If it is available, you want to register that domain name. Registering the name gives you ownership of it. In order for you to reserve the domain name on which you wish to build your website, it has to actually live on a server somewhere. It will usually have some sort of "Under Construction" notice that shows up when people try to access that domain name until you actually build your website there.
Selecting The Best Domain Name
If you go to www.makewords.com, you can enter the words you would like to see in title of the website you create. This website is useful because it gives you ideas for domain names that are available before you build your website.
Here are some of the domain registering websites we recommend.
Godaddy.com Register.com Networksolutions.com Netforms.com Moniker.com Domainmonster.com When you create your website, keep in mind you'll want it to be found in the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.) It is highly recommended you register a website name that contains your major keywords instead of your company name. The average surfer searches for websites by subject, not by proper name. So while it may seem cool to have a name like Billsbigtimebicycles.com, when you create your website, you'll want to choose a name that includes more keywords that your target audience would likely use when they search for a website. You can still list your company name on your website pages, but it's more important when you create and build a website to make sure the domain name includes your important "search friendly" keywords if you want to receive traffic from all over. Of course, you can still list your company name when you create your website some place, but your domain name will include all the important keywords you'll want to be found with. Keep in mind though... If you just build a website for a local business, getting traffic from all over the web may not be as important to you. This is because your customers will be local and you may want to grow your brand name in a specific area. If this is the case, it may make more sense to register your company name and create brand awareness you can build locally instead of trying to capitalize on search engine presence. HINTSThis is where you choose the title of the website you build. First of all, you need to choose a domain name for your website. A domain name is simply an address for your website. Examples are www.microsoft.com and www.yahoo.com. Avoid choosing a domain name that is too long or too complicated for users to remember. |
