How and where to find your name.

Having a good name is a top priority.

The domain name is the first thing you will need to get yourself when you start thinking of starting an online business. As you will find out these can range from very little to a staggering amount of money, also coupled with the fact that a few of your first choices will already be owned by someone else. But don’t worry give it some time and thought and you will find the right one for your new venture.

When choosing a domain name try to avoid long hard to spell words or words that have more than one spelling, for example who will remember www.maketremndouseamountsofcasheasilyonlinetoday.com ? Well not many to be honest. Try to keep it short and to the point and you will find it easier all round.
Also a good tip is to buy both .COM and your region ie; .CO.UK and then redirect one of them to the other.

Try the search box and see if your name is available

Buying a domain name, it really is not that hard.

When I buy a domain name or someone asks me where to get one I will always come up with the same answer. GoDaddy.com without any hesitation they are the best I have found. You may think that all domain registrars are the same and you would be forgiven to thinking this way, but they just aren’t. I have used many different registrars name search facilities over the years and I always try and gauge how good they are by entering in a couple of well known web site names and the results are surprising, one even said I could buy ebay.com for $30 !

With GoDaddy.com you can be sure you will be buying the name you ask for ( if it’s available ) and the prices are really good too which is always a thing to consider when setting up a new business. GoDaddy also offer a hosting package but you should read the next article before you sign up to that.

Once you have bought your domain name you will need a web host
