DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION

Information, Tips and Ideas on how to search for and find the right domain name and a list of the best domain name registration companies

Introduction:

Various companies offer domain name registration services. Following you will find a short list of the best domain name registration companies for you to choose from and more information on how to find the right domain name.

When you click on any one of the following links, check first if the domain name (www.yourcompanyname.com) you wish to register is still available, then simply go ahead and register your domain name.

TIP 1: If the domain name you wish to register is already taken ending in .com, stick with your idea, but instead of .com choose a different ending such as .net, .org, .biz etc.

TIP 2: Keyword Tip: Following are a couple of ideas on how to find a URL that is right for your business. Either select the name of your business or select the most important keyword or keyword combination as your URL

You may have heard about the new extra long URLs up to 67 characters long where a travel agency could have a name that goes something like this: www.wearethebestincaribbeanvacationrentals.com I would advise staying away from extra long domain names and find one that is no longer than 27 characters, because not all search engines support the extra long domain names, which means that they will not be able to list your Web site, and you will loose business.

So, a shorter version for the travel company could be something like: www.caribbeanrentals.com A shorter version is also easier to print on business cards which you will need, or on t-shirts, pens or any other item you wish to print.

Please note that the two names listed in above paragraphs were simply made up at the time this website was written. If these URLs really do exist, I am not making any type of travel recommendations or endorsements of their services in any way. If you happen to like the URL, check to see if it is still available...
