Frequently Asked Questions about Domain Names

What does it cost to register a domain name?

Domain names can be registered for as low as $10 per year. An average cost is $25 per year through a reputable domain registration company. There are sometimes services you may require such as domain forwarding that may not be available at some of the lower cost suppliers.

What makes a good domain name good?

A good domain name is short, easy to remember, easy to spell and ideally has meaning relating to the company, products or services the web site is related to. For a company this would be the name of the company using the .COM extension. .COM domains are still the king of domains but are often picked over. If a competitor has the .COM domain you want, seriously consider another name where you can get the .COM name or you could be directing traffic to your competitors.

What makes a bad domain name bad?

One of the main problems with a domain name is one that is difficult to spell or there is confusion with numbers dashes or underscores in the name. Long domain names can be annoying when you have to type them in. They can also be difficult to use in marketing such as a radio or print ad if the domain name is really long. Also avoid a domain name that has a negative connotation.

Do I need a hosting account for every domain name?

No, many businesses will register multiple domain extensions for a domain name, such as .COM and .NET and .CA. You can create one hosting account for one name (the .COM for example) and then forward the other names to that site using domain forwarding or by using the server settings for the web site with the other domain registration records.
