Buy a business domain name that fits

You have made the wise decision to buy a Domain name for your
business.  So what name will you choose?  This may be the hardest
decision to make when beginning your online business career.  You
need a name that will tell something about your business. Your
name should have a word that is key to your business site contents.

It is always attractive to use your own name or something cute but
beware of the draw backs.  Unless someone is looking online for you
your business site will not attract potential customers.  A site named
JHubbard.com for example will not describe the business content of my
site and will not receive the business traffic I need to be profitable.

If your interest is in selling bicycle seats your domain name needs
to have the word bicycle seat in it.  Maybe something like comfybicycleseat.com
or bicycleseat.com.

Keep it as short as possible and to the point.  Always think like a potential
costumer looking for your products.  Don’t use words that are hard to spell
or have the possibility of errors. I own a site whose name is very long and
I received an email telling me that the sender simply would not use my site
because it took to long to type the address in her browser.  Simple and easy is best.

You will need to go to a site that sells Domain names in order to check out your choice. There are so many domain names out there that it is some times difficult to find a name that has not been taken.  I use wwkiosk for my domain name purchases.  To be honest they are a little more expensive than others but I have found them to be up front about my Domain names and reliable in maintaining my privacy and I like that.  You really do get what you pay for and some times spending a little more will bring huge benefits latter.

So with a little thought and about $15.00 per year you have your Domain name
secured.  Next you should begin to build a website.
