Getting your own Website

Yes, that is pretty easy with the registrar companies offering high discounts and offers in domain names which are the first step in building websites. But before you take the plunge, here are some tips to get you through your purchase of a domain name:

  • Use common sense when choosing a domain name because your domain name, or URL, can have an impact in both the online and offline marketing of your web-site. Long or difficult to spell domain names can make people ignore your web site and it has to be pretty good for them to stick with it.  Short domain names register better with people’s memory and are easy to remember.
  • Obtain a domain name that will help you in your marketing niche and strategy. Like I stated before, you can use your business name as your URL. If your business name is already taken by someone else then get a URL name close to what you are doing. Purchasing a business name domain name isn’t the only way to go, and when a keyword domain name could do just fine. 
  • Use tools that will help you to find available domains of your preference. A domain availability check tool will always help you.
  • Keep it Short & Memorable – Don’t get a URL that uses all 26 letters of the alphabet.

Remember, your domain name is an extension of your business and your brand of product or service. You will understand why i have the word birds on my domain name, because I blog about birds here.
