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.
