Company Domain Name Registration

Why domain name registration is important?

Your domain name is what customers use to access your products and services on-line, and will serve as the core of your Internet identity. The Domain Name System (DNS) translates your domain name into the numerical addresses (Internet Protocol numbers) used by the Internet. Many organizations find it useful to have a domain name or e-mail address that is the same or similar to their company name or product(s). If your organization´s name is Manassas City Advertisment Agency, Inc., you could register the domain name www.manassascity.com and your e-mail address could be user_name@manassascity.com. Your customers would also be able to access your organization´s Web site by visiting "www.manassascity.com" with their Web browser.

Why should I register a domain name?

A domain name will give you a unique identity on the Internet. In some ways, a domain name is similar to a customized license plate. Many organizations find it useful to have an e-mail or Web address that is similar to their company name or to their company product(s).

If your organization's name is MyCompany, Inc., you could register the domain name "www.mycompany.com" and your e-mail address could be "anyone@mycompany.com" Your customers would also be able to access your organization's Web site by visiting "www.mycompany.com" with their Web browser.

Don't underestimate the need for multiple domain names

Chances are it's happened to you at least once within the last year or so. You're browsing the Internet when you inadvertently enter the wrong address, maybe you entered .com instead of .org, and find yourself at the wrong site. And often you'll find that the site that you've accidentally reached is an adult site. While this is no major deal (although maybe a little embarrassing), it can be a major deal to a client that wants to make sure that their customers easily find their site without blushing. To keep this from happening, you should always consider possible misspellings and variations of the domain when registering it. For example, if the registered domain is www.tricity.com, you should also consider registering www.tricity.org, www.trycity.com, www.trycity.org, www.tri-city.com, www.tri-city.org, www.tricities.com and www.tricities.org. If you don't, one of the client's competitors might.

It's no coincidence that Affordable Web Design, Inc. (at www.affordabledomainnames.us) offers this as an option when registering a site. Once you've registered the extra top-level domains (or extensions, as they're commonly referred to), we can then forward each of the domains to the actual site. That's much better than using redirects.

Domain Name Selection

Domain Name Selection is very important for your business and also to protect your family name.You may chose one or more domain names for your web site. We recommend at least three domain names for your web site which should include keywords of your products and services for internet search engines. This will increase your chance and visibility at search engines. We can forward your additional domain names to your main web site without any additional fee. You may visit our domain registration site at www.affordabledomainnames.us and use our Name Spinner. Name Finder helps you find available domain names based on up to three keywords. A keyword can be a word or phrase that describes your business, product, family, interests, etc.
