Selecting a domain name in 4 simple steps - Part 1 of 3
Selecting a host for your new website - Part 3 of 3
This is the big day. You're ready to buy a domain to host your new site. Just getting to this point was like starting a new job, minus the pay and free coffee. I don't want to burst your bubble, but unless your Mom is in the kitchen, it's possible that you are the only one celebrating the official start of your new career.
Add another item to your fine list of bragging rights, because this ones big. No, huge!
All that hard work you've done, selecting your domain name, from a number of good options, will prove it's worth when your site gains traction and provides you with leads. Just be patient til then, and focus on the content you're providing because most of the setup for the domain is remarkably simple to manage.
There exists a variety of Registrars all over the world who can register your name. Give preference to those located in the country where the website will be hosted.
Only a few subtle differences separate the majority, so lets focus on the similarities.
Normally included in the price of a new domain name are things like a welcome page, an email address, subdomains, domain forwarding and DNS control. Better options become available if you're ready to buy a hosting package.
The better Registrars will include features that may also interest you. Like domain privacy, which protects your identity from public viewing. Without privacy, many of the personal details you submit to the Registrar become instantly available online, recorded in the public WHOIS database. Another popular feature is live support. You may never need it, but it's there when you do.
Registering your domain through an Accredited Registrar will ensure that possession is transferred to you immediately.
A partial list of Accredited Registrars is located at ICANN (Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers)
Meanwhile, as the price of a new domain has risen to more than $12 per year the value of a good one remains priceless.
