How to Register an Online Domain Name
If you want a website you should consider the
possibility of registering the domain name, rather than using a free site where
your name is a sub-domain of another. Respective Domains name such as the www.esgotec.pt,
or the www.odesentupidor.pt are a good way to announce your online presence.
Choosing a name that fits your business or presence
online is a great way to get the news out about the service that you're
offering to the public. It also tends to lend legitimacy to your online
endeavors.
How to Choose a Respective Domains Name
As a rule, there is no perfect domain name. There
are some guidelines that you 're going to want to use, such as naming the
domain something that is related to your online business or service. A few tips
on how to name your domain that may help you to choose:
Try to name the domain close to the service.i.e.
if you offer jewelry and the name jewelry.com is gone, try for
glitteringgems.com or something that fits.
The alternative is naming your domain something you
might type into a search engine to find your service. If you'd use the search
phrase..cheap jewelry online, then try the domain names, cheap-jewelry, cheapjewelryonline, or some variant.
If you can't get the names that you want, try
variations with hyphens or underscores. Google sees the hyphen as space and
according to Matt Cutts, his preference is first for the hyphenated and then
the all in one term.
A good rule is to keep the domain name as short as
you can get it and still make it reflective of your service.
Finding a Registrar
Generally speaking, a domain name that cost you
19.99 a month is no more secure and no more legitimate than one that you pay
just 9.99 for. Every domain is registered through a registrar which is an
employee, if you will, of ICANN.
You pay for the domain name for one or two years,
which gives you the right to use it for that period of time. Prior to the
expiration, you are required to re-register it if you want to keep it for
another time span.
Overview of Registration
You are often given the choice of receiving a lower
cost domain name or a free one with a hosting purchase. My own preference is to
use a registrar rather than register with the host. In the past, using a fine
print that many of us don't read, domain hosts registered the domains in their
own name rather than the customers, effectively making them the owner of your
domain. While this isn't the norm, it's better to be safe than lose your
domain.
Registering with your own domain registrar assures
that you are listed as the site owner, that other contact information is just
as you wish it to be. Keep the domain locked to transfer as a rule of thumb
when you are finished registering.
Domain names go fast. You need to register as soon
as you think of a name. Some people actually wait for others to search the
names and if they aren't purchased immediately, they will register them. We're
not sure how true that is but it does seem that you can check out a name to
register today and it will be gone tomorrow.
Some people claim there are no good names left.
That's doubtful. One man's meat, as they say, is another man's poison. You will
quite likely find what you're looking for if you try variants of it.
To actively register the domain.
Log into your domain registrar.
You will need either a PaPal account or a credit or
debit card to register your name. Domain registrars don't normally permit the
use of any other type of funding.
The domain name that you've registered will go
through and an email receipt will be sent to you. At this point, you will need
to go back into your domain registrar and change the DNS information to point
to your hosting service so that your domain will show up online.
If you don't yet have a hosting service then you can
leave the domain parked on your registrar until you find one to use.
