We hope the previous post about building your website got you thinking. Once you have finished with the design of your website it is time to let the world view it! Now it is time to choose your domain name. What is a domain name? A domain name is used to identify one or more IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify a particular web page. Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. Some common suffixes include .com, .org, .net, .gov, .info, etc. Source Webopedia
There is one word to describe choosing your domain name, thoughtfully. When considering your domain name make it simple, specific and one that makes sense to anyone wishing to find your site. There is no point in choosing a domain name that's not going to easily direct visitors to your site. Choose a name that best describes the nature of your site.
Once you have decided on a domain name, it's time to register it. There are many different companies that will register your domain name. Before you register your domain name, you need to make sure that name is not already in use. Here are a few companies that you can use to register your domain name.
Also when choosing a company to host your domain name, make sure that it offers a full DNS service.
