How buy a domain name for your website
Like the name of your company, a domain name is what people
will know you by and will use to visit your homepage. While
you can always create microsites to supplement your main home
page, a good domain name is very important and also makes good
business sense. In India, certain sites like www.irctc.co.in
are today synonymous with ticketing for Indian railways and is
a very good example of how a long name like the Indian Railway
catering and tourism corporation limited has been abbreviated
to form IRCTC.
Finding the Right domain name
Your domain name must be easy to remember. It should be
consistent with your business and should not be some abstract
extension of your work. Make sure it clearly sums up what your
website is. Keep the term small and simple. Another important
aspect is to use words that come up often in searches.
For example, words like flower, wine, movies are frequently
searched and a key word having such name will put your site on
top when it come to searches. If it has been already taken,
then try out different variations.
Checking avilability of website name
When you decide on your domain name, there is a high
probability that someone else might have bought it already.
Many individuals register domain names in the hope that
someone desperate enough for that domain name would cough up
large sums to buy it in the future.
In case you find that your domain name has already been taken, you can get in touch with the person who has registered the name and ask him or her to sell it to you. The price for the sale will be vary wildly and the process of establishing contact tiresome. It is better, in such cases, to look for an alternate name for your domain.
Find a company to register domain name
The internet will throw up multiple sites that generate such
names for decent price. Dot-com domains are the most expensive
and address like .co, .in or .org tend to be cheaper. You can
purchase .in domain name from
bharathnet.com at just
Rs.200. A typical domain name will cost you Rs.450-750 a year
to keep it registered. It does not matter in which country you
are in and what currency you are dealing in, but you may want
to deal with a company in case something goes wrong.
Buying website domain name
You are only buying rights to the name and you will not able
to buy any of the files which makes a website yet. The domain
name is generally bought for one year and renewed every year.
Once you have founded your company, the domain name can be
normally bought online. It will take time to register,
sometimes one working day, but it generally done within few
minutes at BharathNet.com. Once registered, you will get a
password and login from the company which allows you to accept
the site. You can now setup the home page and change it when
you want to.
