Have you thought of a good Domain name for your Website?

Choosing a domain name is a key step in developing your website. Aside from being part of your branding, a domain name is one of the most common ways people will find you on the Internet. That’s why a domain name needs to be memorable by matching or relating to an existing name or by simply being catchy and unique.

You cannot own a domain name. Domain registrants are given exclusive right to use a domain name for a certain period. This right is managed through regulatory agencies, such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the international agency that oversees generic (noncountry) domain names such as .com or .net or .org, for periods of up to 10 years. You’ll hear of people selling their domain name, but what they’re really doing is transferring their right to use the domain for a fee.


Registering VS Owning:


You often see domains written as www.mydomain.com, but the www is not actually part of the domain name.
Increasingly you’ll see URL’s without the www but check with your host to see if your account is configured to accept either version. If it’s not and you leave off the www, your site won’t come up.
