Register Domain Domain Registration Tips
A domain is your web address. Our web page's domain is
unitedpentecostalchurch.info
Be sure to register your own domain name when you start a web site. You can
use a web address that your Internet server provides you, but a domain of
your own is far more professional. Besides, what if your Internet provider
goes out of business? You lose your domain, email address and all the
customers and search engines that knew where to find you.
It is worth spending a bit of money registering your own domain and paying to
have it hosted. You will also receive email addresses that contain your
domain name; this looks very professional and is a great advertisement for
your site.
Choosing a domain is not the deciding factor of your site’s success, but it
sure goes a long way to creating a first and lasting impression. Put some
thought into your domain and make it as descriptive if possible. Also, decide
what the purpose of your site is. If your main goal is to attract people to
join in your home based business plan, then take that into consideration. If
your main goal is to sell your product and maintain customer relations, then
consider that when choosing your domain.
For example:
www.workathome.com would be an acceptable name for selling your home based
business idea
www.kidsbooks.com would be suitable for selling children’s books.
You may want to consider having separate web sites for your recruiting and
selling activities so you can target specific keywords (words people would
enter into a search engine to find your site) in your domain name (if
applicable), but of course – these should always be linked together. If your
product is a well-known brand, you would be wise to include it in your domain
name. If not, include important keywords in your domain.
For example:
http://www.ebay.com
or with a key word
http://www.internet-auctions.com
Make it something easy for people to remember and not too complicated. It
should be something people can type into their browser by memory.
Protect Your Good Name
Experts say it is always a good idea to register all the variants of your
domain name to protect someone from stealing your virtual identity. You are
unique and you want to stay that way. Even if you have a trademarked name, it
will save you a lot of hassle to be prepared.
You can purchase .net, .org., .biz, etc. variations of your name. In
addition, you can purchase hyphenated versions of your domain name. For
example, we have registered internet-based-moms.com, among other domains.
