What is a domain name?

A domain name is the address of your website and it looks likethis: (http://www.ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com/). Website addressesare unique, just as your personal ID; no one else in the worldcan have the same ID number as you. Likewise, once the domainname has been registered by you, no one else can register adomain name which is the same as yours.

Choosing the best domain name

The best name you can choose is always one that follows thetheme of your business. If the theme of business is "startingyour online business" then you should include words like "e-biz"or "internet" or maybe "internet business" in your domain name.

Registered vs. Free

Now, it is time to decide between a free domain name and a paidone. Tell me, what would think if someone is selling a $97.00ebook using a free domain name? A big cheapo right? Even If thatperson is selling a popular ebook that comes with a 90 day moneyback guarantee, you'll probably wonder if he would ever returnthe money if you decide to ask for a refund. Here is anotherpoint, If I were to name my business "ebizmodelsyoucancopy",would it be much better if I registeredwww.ebizmodelsyoucancopy.com rather thanwww.geocities.com/internet/public/business/ebizmodelsyoucancopy/? After all, registering your own domain would cost less than$15.00 per year. What is $15.00 a year compared to a potentialloss of sales?

Registering a domain name

The last step here is to register a domain name. Write downpossible domain names that you like, then do a quick search tosee if that name you want is available at the registrarswebsite. For your information, most domain names that you mighthave thought of would have been already taken. So, you mighthave to do a lot of searches to find available domain names ofyour choice.

Next, Jot down all available domain names you like, then keepsearching until you have about 5 - 7 good names that you canchoose from.

Finally, choose a domain name you like best, and register it ata domain name ICANN Accredited registrar.
