HOW TO FIND AND REGISTER A GOOD DOMAIN NAME

Here come this problem, how to find and register a good domain name. After you have set up your product, it comes the time to register your domain name.

First thing first, you need to find a good domain name. My advice is to choose one which describes the best your activity, for instance, if you decide to sell flowers, the domain name should be www.flowersformylove.com, or whatever you think that represent you best. Never underestimate the value of a good domain name.

This is what you will receive in the gifts serie, among others.

Search for few keyword phrases and look at the pages returned in the results. Don't bother if your domain name is a little too long. Think about making your domain name short, but if it is 3 or 4 or more words and 35 characters long or even more and your keyword phrase makes sense and looks good to you, then let it be.

There is one thing that I would like to mention about hyphens in your domain name. The search engines are not going to penalize you for hyphens. The only problem hyphens in your domain name is that it will sound wird when you will spell, "your domain hyphen.com" for example. And try to find one that ends with the ".com" You really still want to stick with the ".com".

After you picked up your domain name, you must check his availability. If you find out that is not available, play a little bit with your domain name, switch a word, two, untill you find one available. Use some auxiliary words if you find that the domain name you picked up is already taken, change the shape just a little bit untill your new domain name is available.

Few auxiliary words could be these: 2009, now, information, more, plus, resource(s), guide, start, methods, strategy, plan, system, best, free, etc. Keep in mind that must be easy to remember it. You can check if a domain name is available in the same place where you decide to register it.

Then you have to register it. I suggest you to keep in a safe place your information about these kind of things. You will deffinitely need it.

Usually, the sites which register domain names are offering and web host and many other services, like web builder software, credit card processing, etc. I recommend you to register the domain name at the same site where you decide to host your web site.

How to find and register a good domain name?

There is one strategy that affiliate marketers are using in order to gain targeted traffic to their websites very fast. That strategy consists in purchasing Expired Domain Names, that usually come with inbuilt traffic. There is a well defined market for this kind of domain names, and there are people which makes fortunes from that. But I do not advice you to start with such things. You need to understand the process, to be able to build fast a business arround one keyword, in order to make it profitable.

You must be very carefull as regarding the spam complaints. This can hurt very bad your activity. Spam is bad, I do not advise you to use this unorthodox method, but the problem is that you can be a colateral victim. Some people could join your newsletter and the next day they could complain of spam to your host or your registrar . Or, if you have affiliates promoting your product, one of them could use spam while promoting your site, and this could come over you.

Generally speaking, no hosting company tolerate spam. If you receive a spam complaint, your domain name can be pointed to a URL like "Spamandabuse.com" and they will forbid you to login to your account. You will lose your access to all the faciclities and contacts that you have on your site. Your customers will not be able to reach you via email, and your site will be closed until you solve this problem. Usually, it will take up to 3 weeks to get your domain back, and this fi it wii be allowed to you. The ICANN regulations give them the right to close permanent your domain or resell it to someone else if.

Think about, you are struggling for long years that to build a business, and you may lose everything in just one day, because someone make a spam complaint against you, even if it's unfair, you can lose your site forever. In order to take your site back, you will spend few weeks and a lot of money, without mentioning what you lose in lost sales and credibility.

Usually, the web hosting companies understand that it happends to be an occasional spam complaint from time to time and will help you to identify that person and to remove it from your list, either is a subscriber or affiliate.

How to register a domain name? One of the most affordables is http://www.namecheap.com/.

Another one is http://www.godaddy.com/. Both these are offering and web hosting, but, frankly, I didn't used them.

There are a lot of domain name registrar companies, you may find them very easy in Google Search.

My favourite is Lunarpages, and of course, there is and Hostgator, but feel free to choose whichever you like.

In conclusion, try to register your domain name at the same web host company where you will hosting your website, this way you will avoid to transfer your Domain Name Servers from one company to another. It is not so complicated, but when you will do it for the first time, you will sweat a little bit.
