10 Tips for Accurate Domain Registration
You should think about registering a domain name before you actually do it. Many people come up with a catchy name, or feel the need to lock in their name, and rush out to buy a domain name. But there are several things to consider in your domain name. After all, your domain name is an extension of your business and your image—don't you want to project the right one?
These ten tips will help you to pick just the right domain name for you and/or your business.
1. The extension you select makes a statement to user about where you are and who you are aiming to attract. For example, .co.uk tells people you are operating out of the United Kingdom, and .ca tells them you are operating out of Canada. If that is important to you, then register accordingly. If you would rather give them impression of being a global company, or based in the US, then pick a .com name.
2. Use a reputable registration service. Unfortunately, some domain registration services are little more than a scam. They are only middlemen. You tell them the domain name you want, and they register it, for a fee higher than you would pay! In the worst case, they actually register the domain name using their information, so it becomes very difficult for you to do anything with your domain name. Do some background research into the company before you register a domain with them.
3. Use keywords in your domain name. These will sometimes help search engines in ranking your website. For example, if you sell gourmet dog treats online and from your own store, but your business name is "Laura's Homemade Snacks," you might consider two domain names: one for your business name, and one for keywords. In this case you might select "gourmetdogtreats.com" as your domain name to represent to the search engines and searchers what you are about.
4. Short names are easier to spell correctly. What's easier to remember and type in: gourmetdogtreats.com, or laurashomemadeandgourmetdogsnacks.com?
5. Avoid trademarks from other companies. Companies have been known to sue website owners for copyright and trademark infringement, so be very careful if you try to play off an existing business. Make sure that you register a domain name in good faith, and think about the possibilities and connections that might exist between you and another business.
6. Avoid hyphens. Sometimes you must use hyphens because the straightforward name is gone. In that case, a better idea is to come up with a completely different name. The problem with hyphens is that users may end up visiting the wrong site. If you try to register gourmetdogtreats.com but it is already taken, you might choose to register gourmet-dog-treats.com instead. But you run the risk of someone trying to find you typing in the first address. This means you lose business. Better to try and register a name like homemadedogtreats.com instead.
7. Consider buying several different extensions so no one else can infringe on your success by registering a similar name. For example, if you register homemadedogtreats.com, you might also take .net and .org (with the same name), since these are the most popular extensions after .com. That way, no one can register homemadedogtreats.net and try to piggyback of your success.
8. Look for companies that offer telephone support. If you have trouble with your domain name, you need to be able to contact the company and talk to someone. If there is no phone contact, that may be a sign that you are not dealing with a reputable company.
9. Look for accreditations (i.e., ICANN). Reputable companies will seek out accreditations because they know it boosts their business image to be part of a group that enforces good business ethics and practices. Failure to have an accreditation does not necessarily mean the company is bad, but it could mean that. If the company you are looking at does not have an accreditation, make sure you check for other things like phone support, payment procedures, etc.
10. After you find a company you like, do a search on Google for "domain registration." Does your company of choice appear in the first couple of pages of results, or just via Adwords? If the latter, they may not have been around for a long time and may not be reputable. A legitimate company with a solid track record will be ranked in Google's search engine, especially within the first couple of pages. Beware of registration companies that you can only find in Adwords.
These ten tips will help you as you seek to register your domain name.

Buy Domain Web Site
Buy Domain Web Site
By Joe Duchesne
Building web sites by hand takes time. More than that it takes knowledge. Many people don't have the time it takes to learn HTML so that they can build their own web sites. While a person can use something like Frontpage to build their web site, it still leaves some to be desired in its professional results and ease of use. What other option does a web design beginner have?
Web site builders are designed to make your life easier. Instead of having to start from scratch, you usually have the option of choosing from multiple ready made templates. Most web site builders allow you to build a web site using an easy to follow web site wizard. This wizard will walk you through the steps to getting started with your web site.
It is easy to create your web site pages and equally easy to make changes when needed. A good web site builder will allow you to make changes as easily as using a word processor. Making changes on a web site is something that will happen often. Nothing will turn off your visitors faster than a web site that is never properly updated. Look for a web site builder that makes the editing process simple.
Look for a company that offers you a free trial before you buy. The free trial should give you the opportunity to play around with the web site builder, evaluate whether it meets your needs or not and then sign up without having to lose the work you've already put into your website. A number of companies now offer free trials or at least demos. A free trial usually allows you to start working on your site right away while a demo will usually lose any work you do on it when you exit the browser window.
Consider purchasing access to a web site builder when you are ready to build a web site and make your life a whole lot easier in the process.

Reality domain names.
It seems we still have our work cut out for us in educating the public on domain names. I do see the day however when TRAFFIC or Moniker will have a weekly (reality?) TV show with auctions. I can see analysts discussing the value and importance of each name and predicting the winning bids and names. Just like Football. A 30 min pregame show. With
Sahar, Rick, Frank and Monte being the analysts. I hope that day comes soon. That and maybe a couple of best selling books about making it big in this business. Maybe a movie (do I smell Academy Awards?) would really get the message out there. Everyone loves a “rags to riches” success movie. Somebody call Tom Cruize. I really do wish one of you guy’s would at least write that book. And I want to be one of the first guest’s on the TV show :)

What A Newbie Webmaster Should Know About Domain Registration
What A Newbie Webmaster Should Know About Domain Registration.
By Dana Goldberg
Domain Name Registration
Affordable domain name registration was extremely difficult to be found in the past. In fact, all domain name registrars used to charge a flat fee of $70 which was to register your domain name for two years.
Now there has been an explosion of companies that offer affordable domain name registration. Some will register your domain name for less than $15 a year, especially if you are registering multiple sites for a number of years at the same time. Be aware that you may have to have a number of variations of your ideal site name as you often find that the more popular terms have already been registered or reserved for future use.
If you are serious about your online presence then it is essential to consider a bulk domain name registration. The most obvious benefit of having a bulk domain name registration is that your site will appear higher on the search engines. That may be incentive enough but registering as a .net, .biz, http://.co.uk, .la or other domain names too has a far greater benefit which many people do not think about.
A major benefit of having a bulk domain name registration for your site is to prevent the more unscrupulous cyber sitters from piggybacking on the success of your website. Imagine if you could register as a google.au and benefit from the millions of people who use a Google site every day? You see how this could work to someone’s advantage if Google hadn’t performed a bulk domain name registration to prevent this. The extra cost to have a bulk domain name registration can be minimal and there are a number of web domain registrars who offer bulk discounts to their customers.
Wholesale domain name registration is an increasingly popular way for webmasters to register multiple domain names at the same time at a fraction of their individual costs combined. A new marketing technique has been sweeping the World Wide Web recently where webmasters create hundreds of websites with only a small amount of text to attract visitors by keyword searches and wholesale domain name registration has led to this process being simplified.

Important Advice For Domain Owners Hoping To Resell Their Domain Names
Important Advice For Domain Owners Hoping To Resell Their Domain Names
By Edwin John
Have you ever wondered how successful domain speculators sell their domain names?
I recently interviewed some big names to learn their secrets. Due to the length of the discussion I have had to break up the entire conversation to several segments.
We begin our exclusive 6 part interview series with the following question.
"What is the most important advice you would give to new domain owners hoping to resell their domain names?"
Our panel includes:
Michael Collins (VP Marketing, Afternic.com),
Zane Lawhorn (President, 1 Domains International, Inc),
Michelle Miller (COO BuyDomains.com)
Daniel Mejia (DomainsBot.com),
Stewart Reynolds (EchoArts.com)
Joe Devlin (ToGoDotCom.com)
Robert S. Kieren (NameProdigy.com)
DomainSpa.com
Andrew Allemann (WebMasterExpert.com)
William J. Piniarski (Owner of Webcs.com,Time2Sell.com)
Michael Green (Marketing Guru & Founder, HowToCorp.com)
Joe Devlin: Do your homework. Know what makes a domain name valuable and have a plan before you register a domain. A domain name is in essence a business card to the world. Match the message a domain name can send with a business that needs to send that message and you have created value.
Andrew Allemann: Don't buy too many domains before you sell one or two. You may not be buying quality domains and may never sell them.
Stewart Reynolds: Have your domain names appraised to find out which names are the most valuable. Then have the most valuable domain names pointed to a page where prospective buyers can contact you. On that page post your asking price and request offers.
Michael Collins: I guess it would seem self-serving to say list them at Afternic, but letting people know your domains are for sale is the first step. There are many ways to promote your domain for sale. Listing them on leading domain name exchanges and putting a for-sale notice on a website hosted on your name are among the best. Set a reasonable price. The biggest mistake I see is overpricing. There are many people who think their two and three word generic domains with limited market size are worth tens of thousands of dollars. If you do not have successful experience selling names, consider a reputable appraisal service. You have to be careful with appraisals too. Many appraisals are inflated to entice people into marketing relationships.
Michelle Miller: Price the name realistically and use a trusted broker BuyDomains.com offers a 100% FREE listing service that allows anyone to post their domain for sale. Our site gets over 50 million hits a month, instantly giving individuals the opportunity to gain free exposure and sell their name.
