Registering a Domain.

But for this we should be alart form bad and unproffesonal companies.
Choosing a Domain Name
Choosing a domain name is a major step for any individual or organization.
New domain name extensions and
creative thinking still offer thousands of excellent domain names!
When choosing a
name, it is important to consider the purpose of a domain name, which is to
provide an easy way to reach your web site.
The best domains have the
following characteristics:
Short - People don't like to type! A short domain name is easier
to type, read, and remember.
Meaningful - A short domain is nothing without meaning,
34i4nh.com is not easy to enter or
to remember. Select a domain that relates to your site in a way that people will
understand.
Clear - Clarity is important when selecting a domain name. Avoid
a name that is difficult to spell or pronounce.
Exposure - Names that are short and easy to remember are an asset. In addition to
visitors, also consider search engines. Search engines
index your site and rank it for relevance against terms people search for.
In order to maximize your sites exposure, consider including a relevant search
term in your domain. Of course, only consider this if it still
maintains a short, clear and meaningful domain name.
Sub Domains
Most people are unaware that they use sub domains daily.
The famous "www" of the World Wide Web is an example of a sub
domain. Sub domains can be created on a DNS server, and they don't need to be
registered with a domain name registrar, of course, the original domain name needs to
be registered before a sub domain could be created.
Examples of sub
domains used on the internet are http://store.apple.com and http://support.microsoft.com.
Sub domains can be requested from your web hosting provider.
False Domain Names - Directory Listings
Some providers will offer you a name under their own name, like:
www.theircompany.com/yourcompany/
This is not a real domain name, it is a directory - and you should try to
avoid it.
Directory domains are not desirable, especially for companies.
Typically, directory domains are used for
personal web sites and free web sites provided by an ISP, you may have seen
www.theircompany.com/~username as an address.
Competition in
domain name registration has resulted in a dramatic decrease in pricing, so
domain sharing is not common, since it is possible to register a domain name for
only $15 per year.
Expired Domains
Another source for domain registrations is expired domains.
When you register
a domain, think of it as a rental, assuming there are no legal or trademark
issues with the domain name, you are free to use it as long as you continue to
pay the yearly fee (you can now register in advance as many as 10 years).
Some people register domains as speculators, hoping that they can later sell
them, while others may have planned to use a domain and never had the time. The
result is that domains that were previously registered, become
available again.
Use Your Domain Name
After you have chosen and registered your own domain name, make sure you
use it on all your web pages, and on all your correspondence, like e-mail and
traditional mail.
It is important to let other people be aware of your domain name, and to inform your
partners and customers about your web site.
