Choosing an internet domain name for your site—the part of the website address (the URL) that directly follows the www. and comes before the com, .org, .net, .biz, .info, .name —is a key factor in establishing your online presence. It’s a bit like deciding on a baby’s name:
- Will your name “look” like it fits your company?
- Will it say who you are and what you do?
- Is it easily spelled and remembered?
- Does it have meaning that ties to your product or service?
Keep these questions in mind as you prepare to choose a name for your business or personal site. It’s best to have two or three possibilities because when you do a search you might find that someone else already has that domain name.
When you register to purchase SiteBrandBuilder®, you can then begin your domain name search:*
- Go to the home page
- Look under Getting Started
- Type in your names
- Hit Search Now.
- Repeat this process until you find that the name you entered is not taken or is one you can “purchase”.
Once you’ve laid claim to a name, complete the purchase forms and within 24-72 hours you’ll be ready to GO LIVE!
*You can wait until your site is complete before purchasing a domain name. Look at our FAQs for more information.
