Choosing a Domain Name

August 22, 2008 · Filed Under Blog Matters · 1 Comment 
Choosing domain name is not an easy task actually. Believe it or not, people think it is easy as like getitfromboy.net but it is not. Although most of the time, we choose our own name or surname as domain name, but most of those time too, the domain name with our name or our surname especially if it is a common one is taken already or if it is for sale, it is selling at a prohibitive cost like this blog, i was keen on getting the .com domain name but it is already owned by some spammy site with no content at all.

So if you are starting a blog, i suggest you start with free hosts like wordpress.com or blogger then after a couple of months when you already know the ropes of blogging and the not so pretty job of fiddling with codes, you now get your own domain name.

And choosing your own domain name as i have said is no easy task. I suggest you try out with few words only domain name. If it is not still available, expand with some words, but please make sure it is on topic with your site content. A no-no is to use hyphens and special characters, it is not SEO friendly and will keep your blog in the backburner of Google.

After choosing your domain name, another problem that will crop up at this point is where to purchase your domain name. You may be thinking ‘there are so many companies from which I can buy a domain’. Well that choice certainly is not easy. It is the most important part of your future blogging career so be very very careful on this one. Choose a company that is reliable. Buy Domain Name that is cheap and affordable from domain express.
