Registering Domain Names
Wednesday, June 10, 2009
Registering Domain names is simple and easy. Coming up with a domain name that is easy to remember, applicable to your business and available is another thing! Here are a few pointers:
1. Try and keep it as short of possible. Remember this domain can also be used for your email addresses. the last thing you want is someones.namehere @ reallylongdomainname.com a bit of a mouthful and takes up half the page!
2. Make it easy to say and spell. That way they will remember it and reach your site.
3. If you are a UK business register the .co.uk domain and use it as your primary domain. Register the .com and .net to protect your brand. If you are an international company then the .com or .net may be preferable.
4. Try and use keywords in your domain. This will help Search Engine Optimisation and give people an insight into what your business does immediately.
