DOMAIN NAMES
Domain Name
Definition: A Domain Name is actually the address of a web
site.
We buy our domain names through
GoDaddy.com the World's #1 Domain Name Registrar. They
simply have the best price hands down. Anybody who knows
about domain names knows that's THE place to purchase domain
names. They have fast service and are very easy to work with
if you know what you are doing.
Before you
purchase your domain name from anybody you need to know a
few things.
If you are going
to have a website:
·
You
need to know which domain to purchase. Never underestimate
the importance of domain name selection.
·
You
need to have a web host.
·
You
need to know your server numbers.
·
You
need to know how to set up your server numbers.
·
You
need to know how to set up your software server extensions.
·
You
need to set up a user name and password to edit the site.
·
Often
you may want to purchase multiple domain names for certain
reasons.
The importance of
these "things to know" varies but they are all important and
you don't want to gloss over any of them. Knowing "where" to
buy a domain name isn't the secret, knowing which domain
name to buy is where the secrets are kept.
Getting the right
keywords in your domain name is an art and there are tools
available to help you do this. If you want Mid Michigan Web
to do it we can and actually enjoy domain name research.
We use
Micro Niche Finder to help seek out keyword niche
phrase's in flooded markets. Of course knowing how to use
the software helps but either way it's the tool to use
BEFORE purchasing a domain name for almost any reason. The
one big reason to buy a domain name without any research
would be to get your business name DOT COM'd. Once again we
can do that for you or you can do it yourself. But you need
to know others can purchase your business name "Dot COM'd"
and it's perfectly legal. There are actually people who buy
domain names to profit from later. Think about it, they
could buy
www."yourbusinessname".com
for $9.99 and sell it for what ever price they want to. For
$9.99 a year you can protect your business name from getting
"Dot COM'd" by an investor or your competition. For an
additional $5.00 we will register your domain name for you.
It's pretty basic but we have been doing it for years. If
you are having problems and just want somebody else to
register a domain name for you please feel free to
contact us.
