Have you ever wondered how many people think about the same domain name, that you want to register… and maybe, even, at the same time?
The one who actually goes ahead and registers it takes the cake; the others keep waiting or make compromises.
Choosing a good domain name is not difficult. Finding an available domain, that you like, can be tough; but if you search hard enough and take in all possibilities as far as where you can buy a domain, you will get lucky eventually.
So, if you have a good domain name, in mind, don’t wait! Just go and grab it, before anyone else does, because it’s cheap, only, until it is not reserved.
There is no harm in reserving a domain, even if you do not intend to use it for your online business in the near future.
Because the domain name selection process, must be performed, before uploading the website, it is warmly recommended to plan, carefully, the domain registration, to avoid from any regrets, later.
Registering a Domain Name
There are some important factors, to consider when registering a domain:
– The TLD or domain extension (.co.il, .com, .net)
– The purpose of your website
– Some major keywords you’re focusing on
– For how long you will register the domain
– Where you will register the domain
– Whether you will buy a domain privacy, or not
Whichever method you choose to buy domain names, make sure they match your websites, are short and memorable, and will attract users to click through to your websites. Always remember to keep your average user in mind.
If your target audience comprises lay buyers, make sure you opt for names that are simple to use and easy to spell. This will help in avoiding typing mistakes and increase retention value. Imagine the effort it takes to spell and type ‘palaeodendrology.com’!
Purchase the domain, only after talking with several people, who are close to you and make sure they feel comfortable, while using the name, that you have chosen.
