In this day and age, you’ll need to be creative to come up with a unique name especially as more businesses are beginning to move their services online. There are lots of domain name generators such as GoDaddy’s Name Generator or even Shopify’s Name Generator . Not only can these domain name generators automatically generate a name based on one or more keywords, they can also check to see if the domain name is still available.
When choosing a domain name, it is important to consider the extension you choose. There are lots of extensions available such as .com, .net, .biz, .org, .io. Of these, .com is still the most widely used domain name extension as it is memorable and easy to remember.
It is important to note that certain business types may warrant the use of a particular extension. For example, it is common for not-for-profit organizations to use the .org extension.
Steps to take when registering your domain name
- Determine what domain name you would like to use as well as the extension.
- Use a domain name registrar to search to determine if the domain name is available. You can use sites like Whois.Sc, GoDaddy.com, 1and1.com, Google Domains and others.
- Once you have found a domain name that is available, you will have to pay to register it. You have the options to set the length of duration for which you would like to purchase the domain name. Some registrars provide deep discounts the longer you register the domain. It is important to remember the length for which you registered your domain to ensure you do not lose the domain once the period lapses.
