Domain Names (Also know as web addresses) are both the reality of the present and the wave of the future. As of today, some 39 million domain names are currently registered, though it is projected that by the year 2010 total domain name registrations could double!
With this knowledge in hand, the time to take action is TODAY...Right Now! There are still many good domain names still available to register and own today!
Go Ahead, Buy Your Very Own Domain Name
Right Now!
1. The first step is to select a reputable domain name registrar. Some of the top names in domain registration include Godaddy, Yahoo, Enom, Dotster, Register dot com, Registerfly, Namecheap, Moniker and Networksolutions. Also, there are many excellent resellers of each of these larger companies. Each registrar has many unique strengths in services, but things to look for include:
- A variety of free Domain Name services such as free parking, and easy to use domain name panel, domain name redirection, url forwarding and other security features.
- An easy to use push service to allow you to perhaps one day sell your domain name (and maybe make a tidy profit).
- Price. Prices vary significantly between different registrars, but it may or may not pay to go with the least expensive registrars. The key is to find the right mixture of services and price for all the extensions you'd like to use.
2. After you've researched a variety of registrars, the next step is to find your preferred domain name and extension. The extensions available (starting with the most popular) are .com, .net, .org, .info, .us and many more including .co.uk and .de. When you find your available domain name with preferred extension, simply pay the registration feel and the domain is yours!
There has been much recent speculation that in just a few short years we will all come to be know no longer by our phone numbers, email addresses, fax numbers, physical home addresses or P.O. Boxes, but rather by our domain names. For example, the owner of this site (HHH.com) will be known by this very short and memorable web address! Wouldn't you to like to own your own cool web address? It all starts by choosing a quality Domain Name Registry service!
