| Before you rush out and choose your domain name
or name your website, you might want to consider
some basic logic. In the modern world of the
Internet, where people automatically turn to the Web
for information, it pays to have a domain name that
reflects your site or business. A domain name that
matches your brand name is very important. The very
name that you use to advertise your product is the
name that you will want for your domain, because
that is the first thing that people will try in
their browser. It is also the easiest thing for them
to remember.
There are several Domain Name Extensions. They are:
| com |
Commercial - Any business site |
| net |
Networks - Internet Businesses
- Hosting Company |
| org |
Organizations |
| edu |
Educational |
| int |
International Organizations |
| mil |
US Dept of Defense |
| pro |
Professionals |
| biz |
Businesses - Any Business |
| info |
Informational |
For any business site except a hosting company
(.net) we recommend .com or
.biz and in that order. Since the dot com extension has been
around longer than others, registering names with .com
can be a problem. However a web address with a
.com extension is easier for customers to remember.
Be creative, but remember
you want your name easy to remember.
All the Hosting Companies we recommend have Domain Name
Registration offerings and lifetime Domain
Names. Usually there is a yearly renewal fee
to keep your name. Not so with these companies.
