Domain Name - Tips and Guide
posted on 03 Jun 2008 08:45 by domain-registration in Tips-TricksA few hints and tips regarding domain names:
* A good domain name wants to be easy to read, easy to remember, and you want all the variations.
* If you are a start-up, the best time to think about your domain name is now, before you finalise your business name.
* If you are struggling to find a good domain name, invent your own word.
* Make sure that your provider is a reputable company that has been trading for some years.
* Ensure that once you have registered your domain name, you are allowed to transfer it to another provider
* If possible, Keeping your Hosting Service separate and distinct from your Domain Registrar.
* Register all the variations you want, but only actually use one of them. Most host / ISPs do not charge you for "parking" a domain name, so if there are say 5 variations on the name you like, register all five and "park" four of them.
* Be sure to put your name as Administrative Contact; this indicates who is authorized to act on behalf of the actual owner, as opposed to the Technical Contact, which is usually somebody at the ISP who's responsible for maintaining the name servers.
