If you want a business or personal presence on the internet, your best course of action is to carve out a space for yourself and your company by securing the rights to a domain name that reflects who you are and what you do. There are plenty of free blogs and sites that offer free webpages for you customize. Unfortunately not all of them allow for you to add your own domain to this page, so securing your own name is very important especially if you're interested in building a search engine friendly website as well as an easily identifiable presence, your own
There are several things you should take into account when you want to reserve a domain name on the internet. First are foremost, of course, is finding a domain registrar that is reliable, secure and legitimate. But how do you pick, out of the thousands of available companies?
The very first thing most people do is head towards a web site that they have heard of before, or has been recommended to them. These sites tend to have huge volumes, and spend a lot of money on advertising. That can include companies such as GoDaddy.com, Yahoo Domains, or Domains.com.
Larger companies are not your only option, of course, but their large customer bases and their large support staff typically mean that they have more in terms of customer service support, and if you are the sort to look for a bargain, these companies are the ones that often have coupons available for reduced rates on some of their services. And of course, these larger companies can offer services beyond the simple web domain registration, including site hosting and online store construction. The prices however are not always the least expensive as those large support staffs do cost money, but they are certainly an option to consider.
One thing to be cognizant of is the different types of domains that are available. While most people are generally familiar with the .com domains, and every domain registrar will offer these, there are other options. For individuals and businesses who want their domain to tell a bit about their location or origin, there are country-specific domains available, such as .ca or .uk. These domains are somewhat less popular that others, and some registrars do not always offer them to their customers. So if you want to use one of these types of addresses, be sure to check to make sure that your chosen provider offers them.
