How to Conduct Domain Name Search

Author: Max Domainer

Creating a website is not just about creating your pages, designing them and including all the important information. It is also about creating a domain name.

* That relates to your products and service.

* That is easy to remember and spell for your customers.

A domain name that is easy to remember will have more return customers and more word of mouth advertising than domain names which are hard to spell, remember, or both. When it comes to searching for a domain name, all you have to do is go online and search for ones that you are interested in to see if they have been taken or not. There are a lot of sites that will let you search domain names.

First of all, prepare a list of domains you would like to register. Try to get several combinations, don't register the first one you can think of. You need at least 10-20 versions.

If your site doesn't necessarily need to be international, then you also consider buying a domain for your own country instead of .com - .de for Germany (Deutschland), or a co.uk for the UK, for example.

Stick with a .com, don't opt for .tv, .biz, or any other suffix if at all possible especially if that exact domain name is taken as a com. You will end up losing business to that site.

Now submit a list of domains to some site to search for the available domain names.

If you are lucky, some domains are available. Register them and don't wait until them get someone else.

Don't set your mind on one particular domain name. Also remember that there are niches where every two dictionary words names are already taken. You may need a patience to find the available and good one.

Try to find synonyms for keywords you use, or try to remove some letters. For example, madconomist.com instead of madeconomist.

There is a way to simplify domain name selection - use software! Powerful software, such as Available Domains Pro can generate thousand of valuable domain names in a few minutes. It can be easily customized to fit your needs. Try this one and you won't regret.

Keep Domain Name and Hosting Plan Separated

Some web hosting companies offer a free domain name registration for new users (includes into web host plan price). People usually make use of that feature since it enables them to save some money while keeping both the domain name and the hosting plan with the same company.

But! If you are unhappy with your web host's service and want to go to another web host, you will need to get them to release your name to the new web host. Some web hosts make troubles with releasing a domain name.

My recommendation is to keep all your domain names with a reliable registrar like GoDaddy.com while having an another company for web hosting.

Domain Name Registration and Deletion Cycle

What happens if I don't renew my domains?

There are several steps after your domain expires to safeguard you from losing any domains you want to keep.

1. 60-days* before your domain(s) expire Signature Domains will send notices reminding you to renew them. The exact expiration date can be seen in your account.


2. If the domain expires it may still be maintained in the registration database for a 5-day* grace period where it can be renewed at the normal renewal price. During this time all services such as hosting or email will not be active.


3. After the grace period it will be deactivated and placed into a 30-day* Redemption Period (Note - Some domains may not make it to the redemption period if they are purchased by a third party. Be sure to renew your domains before they enter redemption status.)


4. Once the Redemption Period has elapsed the domain may be registered by another party.

* - Number of days stated in the domain expiration/redemption explanation are approximate.

Tips before buying Domain Name

It doesn't matter where you register your domain. But, there are a lot of domain registrars and we recommend to buy domain name from a big and a trusted company. Our recommendation to buy domain name is from www.GoDaddy.com

Tips Before Buying Domain Name

• Usually, offered prices for domain name are for one year registration.


• All companies will try to sell some additional services, pay attention that your cart includes only services you want.


• Save money with coupons - companies like GoDaddy, Gate, Hostgator etc. have discount coupons. Search in Google for "GoDaddy coupon" or "Hostgator coupon" and use it.


• Private or public registration - The difference between public and private registration is whether your personal information will be available to the public. If you buy private registration none of your details will be publicly available. You can view domain details in who-is directory websites.


• At the final step, before you are paying for your new domain name, ensure that the company you are buying from is trusted and that your communication with the website is secured (closed lock is shown on the status bar).

How to Register a Domain Name ?

Skip to Quick Domain Name Registration

Domain name (or a website name) is the unique name for a website.

The first step in creating a website is to register your domain name. It's very easy to do, as long as you know how to do it. The detailed steps of the domain name registration will be explained here.

If you are creating a personal website, like private photo album, the website name itself is less important and you can buy .name or .info extension (top-level domain).
