02 Jan 10 What to Consider While Buying a Domain Name
In the Shakespearian world Rose by any name might have smelled sweetly, but lots of things have changed since Shakespeare abandoned this world. Now change the name of the flower from Rose to Lillie and the perception about the flower will change completely, at least on the Internet. We are living in the world where name is as important as the substance that carries it. That is why good domain names are so rare.
A good domain name may not make us millionaire or build a big business for us, but a bad domain name will certainly suck money out of our pockets giving zilch in return. Therefore, you should follow the following steps while buying a domain name.
How to buy a domain name
- Define the nature of your website: You need a short and descriptive domain name if you are going to be next Twitter, Flicker, or Facebook. What I mean to say is that if you have a ground breaking product or services to offer then short, simple, catchy, and easy-to-remember domain names like the ones in the previous sentence should be considered. But if you are offering informational products or free information on a certain topic then keyword-rich domain names should be bought. For example, if you are operating in weight loss market then domain names consisting of the keyword weight loss should be considered.
- Length of the domain name: One-word domain names are the best thing to have, but if you are reading this I am sure you cannot have one, unless you have millions of dollars to invest. Two-word domains are the second best thing. Lots of two-or-three-word domains are still up there to grab, so better rush now.
- Use Google Adwords keyword tool to find out which term in your niche has decent monthly search volume. Try to get a domain name related to that keyword. It will be a goldmine for you.
- Using wrong spelling or complex spelling in the domain names is not a good idea.
- I will also not suggest using hyphen in the domain names.
- A domain name represents your business; hence, it should be brandable.
- Using foreign word is also not a good strategy while registering a domain name.
These are some of the points that you should keep in mind while booking a domain name for a business. What else do you think is important? Please use the comment box and write in your suggestions.

The fastest growing domain name registration company has put its low-price regional domain names up for grab. This Domain names ending with .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk, .co.in, .net.in, .org.in, .gen.in, .firm.in, .ind.in and .info are offered on an irresistible annual price of just $5.99.

The free privacy protection service saves the buyers a minimum of $6 on every domain name they register with Gossimer as the privacy protection service is offered for a fee of anything between $6 and $14 by other domain name registration companies. To keep the registered domains safe from the hackers on the Internet, Gossimer has added another layer of protection to every domain it sells. This domain theft protection service is offered as a free gift with every domain purchased from Gossimer.
“As the web is going local, we at Gossimer thought of providing an impetus to this movement by offering our regional domains at a lower cost.” Said Marvin Dreyer.

29 May 09 How to Find a Domain Name
The Internet is full of websites, blog, forums, social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, video sharing sites, etc. Actually, just the list of categories of websites can go on and on. Does it say anything about the Internet? Yeah, it does. All the good domain names are already taken! You have to be very, very lucky to find the domain name that is simple to spell, simple to remember, workable, comes with .com extension, has no confusing letters, and which will meet your requirement. In short, all the good domain names are gone. How to find one that will work for you? I’ll come to it in a while, but before that let’s discuss how to begin searching for one.
The process of domain name purchasing should begin with keyword research. Choose top 5 keywords from the list and starting forming the domain name that will work for your niche. Start the permutation and combination taking two or more keywords, or by adding suffix or prefix to the keywords. Once, you have a list of tentative names that will work for you, I will suggest verifying the domain names on the following criteria before finalizing one of them.
- Is it simple to spell?
- Does is any contain confusing letter: p, c, z, q, and x?
- Is it easy to remember?
- Is it unique?
- Have you got .com domain? If not make sure, you go for .net or .org domain.
- Is it short? Keep it as short as you can.
- Does it contain numbers or special characters: hyphen (-), underscore (_), etc.?
- Is the domain name infringing anyone’s copyright?
