Some other features you should get with your domain name

Before planning to buy a domain name there are many important bonuses that you should look for. In this post I will be introducing you with those bonuses so that you can know them better and try to look for them when purchasing a domain name.

Email: It is pretty cool to have an email address with your domain name for example you own example.com so your email id may look like "yourname@example.com". There are a few companies that offer it for a few bucks per month while a few offer for free as well. So you should check it with your company.


Privacy : It is very important to choose between the fact that you want your info public or private. People can look at your info just by doing whois on your domain name and all your info will be in their hands. If you want to start a real business that sell services and involves transactions of money then you should not hide yourself,this will increase trust. But if you are just starting a blog then you may choose to remain private or public. This service may cost a few bucks or may be free.



Domain forwarding : Domain forwarding is nothing but just put a mask on the url. For example you have affiliate link then you can mask it under your name and people will think that it is your website.

In the coming posts we will be introducing new features. Stay tuned.

How to choose a domain name?

Want to start a website? Not a bad idea :)

So in the last episode we learnt what is a domain name. So now continuing further,we will learn the basics of buying a domain name. There are many domain extentions such as ".com",".gov",".net",".org" . They are just extentions showing what your website is basically for. For example ".gov" represents a governmental body's website(this domain extention is not available for public). An example of a .gov website is White House's website.

So the question arises,what domain name should I choose and what extention is best. If you are here to make website for commercial purpose then make it witg a .com or .net. You can also try .info(cheap) but if you can get,then get a .com domain name,it is best.

So before selecting the name you should consider what your business is all about. For eg you want to make a website selling chairs,then you can choose a name like "xxxxxchairs.com" here "xxxxx" can be your brand's name. The name of your website is very important and it must have the keyword for the product you wanna sell from the website. This thing doesn't apply when talking about some big players but they have their brand recognition so come back to earth and think of a good keyword. So let us take another example,for example if you sell vitamin products then you may use "xxxxxvitaminsuppliers". Website having upto three or maximum four words work great.

The domain name plays important role in bringing traffic from the search engines such as google,bing,yahoo. For this purpose you have to do SEO which we will discuss later. So coming back to topic,if you want to start a mobile website then ".mobi" maybe a good deal.

Best of luck in choosing your domain.

What is a domain name?

Let's start from basics first.
Daily thousands of new people get introduced to internet. They don't know what internet is all about. I will keep my posts simple and silly by thinking that you are one of those newbies(you're not, I know).

The most basic website a beginner is most likely to fell in love with is google. So let's start with google. When you access internet you open a browser. And in the browser you enter "www.google.com" ,it is called address bar. So the term "google.com" is the domain name.
Domain name is nothing but a memorable name to access a website. For example you house has a name or particular house no. So domain name is nothing but actually a name by which your website will be opened on the internet.

In the coming posts we will guide you on how to choose a domain name,types of domain name,best domain name providers,make money by selling domain names and other useful things. So stay tuned.
