Registering your
domain name, also referred to as a URL (Uniform
Resource Locator). Is the first step.
Ideally you would want your domain name to
be the same as your business. There are many
dot com designations to choose from .com, .net,
.ca, .biz, .org.
Hints: when selecting
a name, make it short and simple to spell. Avoid
words that are commonly misspelled in your domain
name. Ensure the domain name that you selected
has not been registered. When you register online,
ensure you take ownership of the domain name.
Hallo Graphics doesn't recommend you using
the numerous extension services only because
if they go out of business, so does your domain
name. All of your money you invested on marketing
and establishing your web site address is gone.
Register your name as soon as possible as many
good domain names go fast.
Don't worry if you don't have a web site. Once
you pay for the registration, the registration
service will park your domain name until your
web site is ready. Expect to pay annually for
your domain name. Best suggestion is to register
the name for several years, as it is more cost
efficient in the long run. Registration costs
start at $29.95 and up. You can register your
domain name with any one of the following companies:
NOTE: If you don't
have time or are uncomfortable in obtaining
your domain name- Hallo Graphics will be happy
to secure those services for you at a nominal
fee.
