Domain Name - Choose It With Care

Many names that people starting off with a website would like to use, are now taken. They're already paid for and being used or are parked.

Choose your name and then check if you can get it. Put it into your browser and if a website comes up, then it's gone, and you'll have to choose a different domain name. Another way is to go to somewhere such as NameCheap.com where you can try one name after another, including any variations you might want to use if you can't use your first choice.

Having found a name not being used, then pay for it. You can use a place such as NameCheap. Or if you want to buy it outright as your own, check it out on registrar websites or auctions on auction sites such as Ebay. However, take care doing it this way. For example, if the seller is saying the name has been making money on a site, ask for evidence of the revenue of that site.

If all is ok, then you have your domain name that should be memorable and short as possible. Now you  need to send to traffic to it once you have your site set up with it. A domain name can be vital to your business on that site succeeding.
