Register a domain name
A domain name consists of the address of your website and ends in .com, .net, .org or similar.
There is nothing more frustrating than coming up with a great domain name, finding out it is actually available,
and procrastinating just long enough for someone else to grab it under your nose.
So, the lesson here is: Don't hesitate! Registering a domain name is fast, easy and CHEAP!
Ok, so how do you register one?
- Pick a registrar. Stay away from the big companies like Register.com and NetworkSolutions.com, because
they charge way more than others, and they all provide the same services.
GoDaddy.com is a good choice.
- Register multiple extensions (.org, .net, etc)! This way you avoid loosing users to people copying your site.
- Follow the steps to register your domain.

So you're still reading? Well let's get to it.
Pick a relevant name
Your domain name should be the same as your web site name. This may seem obvious, but in fact, there are a lot of websites that
have no relation to the domain name whatsoever. E.g. www.jimbojohn.com containing a website on video games. Include keywords that
describes the content of your site.
The domain name gives your site credibility. If your site is a professional business site, then you should pick a professional name.
If your site is an entertainment site, then you should pick something more entertaining.
Not too long
Make sure your domain name is not too long. You can register up to 63 characters, but it's generally not a good idea.
Make it something that is easy to remember.
