Domain Names
When you set up your website, you need a domain name. You’ll need to find a suitable domain name and register it before you start. This is what a domain name looks like — www.MyWidgets.com. You can choose a dot com name, or .net, .biz, .tv, .mobi etc. Most marketers will suggest to use a .com name if possible for a business.
Many websites own more than one domain name and point the extra domain names to the website. The reason for this is to make it easier to find your website, even with a typo for example.
So what’s a good domain name? That really depends on what you’re doing online and how you’re doing your marketing. How are you planning to have your clients find you? If you’re a retailer and you send your clients to your website through advertising in your store, on your business card, in your print advertising etc. you probably want a easy to remember name for your customers. Let’s say you’re selling widgets, maybe www.Mywidgets.com would be a good name for you – or www.WidgetsGalore.com if that’s the name of your store.
