Domain Name Selection

When you purchase a website designed by Go For Websites we will purchase Domain names for you, we will help you choose whats best for your needs and ensure that it fits in with your online marketing plans.

Choosing the domain name is just as important to your offline business as it is to your online business.  It pays not to have a domain name to long or one too complicated to spell.  In some cases you should buy the acronym as well as the full name of the domain name.

Long Domains or Acronyms

A long domain would be www.myverygreatdomainnames,com

This is quite a long domain and it is easy to make mistakes when typing it so if you are going to use your website for email accounts they will come out as harry@myverygreatdomainname,com

Using an acronym it becomes much cleaner harry@mvgdcn,com

It’s not always recommended to use the acronym domain name when registering but it is certainly something that should be considered if you have a long business name. Or something that doesn’t look right when all jammed together.

The main reason for registering both domain names is to secure your full business domain name so that oppositions and domain name purchasers cannot take advantage of it.  While there are organizations to fight such things, it is far simpler to spend a bit more money at the start and get all the right names at once.

Check your Spelling!

You only get one chance to register a Domain name, they don't give second chances and there are no refunds for mistakes.  If you register the wrong name, you will have to just take the hit on the cost and register another.
