Domain Name Registration
Domain names and your web site..
- Never tell anyone your desired domain name before your register!
- This includes web developers, co-workers, family, and friends
- Register your domain yourself as soon as possible
- This will secure your place on the web
- Use search keywords to describe your site
- Increases your search engine ranking dramatically!
- Use your name as the owner and administrator contacts
- Never use someone else as a contact, except technical contacts
- I recommend GoDaddy.com for domain registration.
- GoDaddy.com allows you to use a private registration to reduce spam.
- GoDaddy.com allows you to setup auto-renew options.
- GoDaddy.com allows you to setup domain forwarding, and domain masking.
- GoDaddy.com is relatively inexspensive
- http://www.GoDaddy.com
