What is a Domain
Name?
Domain names
commonly begin with the all familiar "www" (world wide web)
and end with ".com", although other endings are possible
(.net, .org, .gov, etc.). Every domain name is unique -
there are no two domain names exactly alike. They are
registered in a master database and there are domain name
resellers all over the world. Domain names range in price
depending where you buy it, but the average cost of a domain
name is around $8 to $10 a year.
Sometimes you can save money by registering your domain name
for multiple years. A Domain name is
like a street address to your website. Those who type your
domain name in the address window in their browser can
instantly go to your website.
Choosing the
Right Domain Name
Getting the right
domain name is imperative. The biggest consideration should
be that you should choose a domain name that contains a key
word that relates to your business or organization. This can
be a bit challenging because your first choice may already
be taken. That's why it's good to write down 8 or 10 ideas.
Make sure your "domain name" is short and catchy. It should
be easy to read when printed and it should also be easy to
remember when seen.
