Before getting a domain name, there are a few things to keep in mind. Here’s what to keep in mind:

Stop thinking only about “.com”. See, there are many varieties of new domain name extensions that are available. These domains also offer more precision

• If you want a .com site, make sure it’s available and redirect it to the correct name of your new domain, so the risk of squatting is left behind. Make sure you have prior right before registering a trademark.

• If you want to save money, use a retail registrar, a corporate registrar if you have more money.

• If you are in need of expert or specialized assistance and services related to domain names and Trademarks, make use of a Corporate Registrar.

Don’t buy dozens of domain names. You can buy the one and its “.com” but don’t stop communicating with your new domain name.

I’d like to repeat, make sure you don’t use a trademark on your domain name if it’s not yours.

Make sure the domain is registered in your name. If the domain name you want for your startup is already taken, change your startup name. Remember that your domain name is your online identity.

There are many TLDs (Top Level Domains) that you can get for free, though with some restrictions (TK CF GA GQ ML) etc., are some of these top level domains that you can easily get. However, other TLDs like (.com.net.org.UK) have their prices at different registrars. No single registrar provides all the cheapest TLDs. Therefore, it is prudent to compare prices between domains before deciding to buy any of them.

Again, some of these registrars that even provide cheap domains have great renewal prices that are too much. It is essential to consider this as well. Some of the cheapest options are GoDaddy hosting, Namecheap, and Temok. Temok is cheaper when talking about the .com domain. The charge is only $6.99.

It is also ideal that you get a domain name that is related to the main keywords that your website or blog is about. Locating it by adding a location to the domain is often valuable. It is also worth using the company name if the domain also includes the keywords. Don’t leave it for too long. Also, consider how that domain name offers the ability to be paired with a domain extension. Best if you can pair it with a dot com. But other domains can also be useful. Don’t let them be too different anyway, because the more different your blog extension is, the harder it is for people to remember your extension.

Here are some great examples of some useful domains that have been paired with business names and where their locations might be:

• Detroit Irrigation

• gregsonabogados

• atlantacardealers

• johnsonlawnservice

• sports medicine houston.
