Domain Names can sometimes make or brake your online presence, A domain name for a Business is rather easy to decide on, usually you already own it in the real world but online it can be a little tricky, virtually any name is fair game on the internet unless you have copyright, The Coca-Cola Company® for example is a copyrighted business name and there for can not be taken by a registrars company where they can sell it to the highest bidder.(Common practice in the mid 90's with dot com companies)
The easiest way to find out if your business name is taken online is to type it in the address bar of your web browser, if you get a "Page can not be displayed" (or similar message) there is a very good chance that the Domain name is available to register with a Registrar or Domain Hosting company.
Register your domain name
As I mentioned above you have two options to register your domain name, With a Registrar or Domain name host.
Registrar - - This can sometime be a long winded way of registering your Domain Name, finding a registrar can be easy but the process less so, most times you will end up phoning the company, waiting on the line for a long time and then being transferred from one operator to another, luck may be on your side, once you have your Domain name you still have to find a host, transfer your DNS and pay the host.
Hosting Company - Going this way is usually the best. You are dealing with a company where you are registering your Domain name and Host it and in most cases can offer you great deals, eg;
- Free Domain name for one year
- Cheaper hosting rate for one year (usually not more expensive after)
- Hundreds of email addresses
- Huge amounts of space, 300- 1500 Gigs or more
- Unlimited data transfer
- Free add-on's
- File transfer options
The online process in most cases is very easy, have a credit card handy otherwise you'll need to send a check and the process can take a little longer.
Once you have chosen a host you'll first need to register your Domain name then decide how long you want it for and how long you want to host.
Recommended Hosts -
