What is a Domain Name?
In
the world of the Internet your unique "domain" is
where your website resides. The domain name
that you choose is equivalent to your street address,
and like any street address it makes it possible for
people to find you - in this case, to visit your website
- once they know what it is. For example, our
domain name is isor.biz.
The most common way for people to find you is by searching
- either by entering search terms (example:
"Isor.biz") in a Search Engine (like Google) or in
a Directory (such as Yahoo!).
How important
is your Domain Name?
Choosing
the best domain name for your website is essential
for several reasons.
Your domain name represents your identity to
the Internet world, and as such it should convey the
right impression about you and your business.
If you have chosen a Top Level Domain such as .com
or .ca, it can reflect your personal commitment,
and it can send the message that you're in it for
the long haul.
But it can do even more than project an image.
As we suggested earlier, your domain name is your
Internet address. An appropriate, easy-to-remember
domain name can help visitors find you and return
to your website, again and again.
Registering your Domain Name
Registering
a domain name is a complex process that must be
completed properly the first time. We cannot
stress this enough. Many Web Designers charge
from $40 to $80 to do it for their customers - and
that is in addition to the registration fee that every
website owner must pay to the Registrar of Domain
Names.
As a client of isor.biz we do not charge you
for helping you get the best name for your website.
