Before you can start your website, you will need to buy a domain name. A domain name is the name of your site on the web - such as “www.example.com” that people will type in their browsers and see at the top of every page of your website. Make sure you choose a good one.
The best thing to do is to think of a series of two or three words that describes your what your website will be about. You'll have a very difficult time finding single word domains.
If you're registering a business website, you might want to add something in your domain name to distinguish you from other businesses with the same name - like the city or town in which you're based, for example.
We used 1&1 to buy & register our domain name. Their ".com" domains are priced affordably at $5.99/yr. |
Not ready to launch your site yet? Earn money in the meantime with a free Domain Parking page.
Domain parking means that you simply forward your domain so that it points to a parking page such which will be optimized with a page of links related to the category of your domain name. You get paid when people visit the page and click a link.
Sedo.com is the leading domain parking company. We used them to park this domain before launching the site. While being parked, our domain name more than paid for itself!!
If you choose to, Sedo can also enter your domain name into their marketplace. This allows the people to bid on and submit offers to buy your domain if they're interested. You're never under any obligation to accept offers but if the money's right...!! |
