How To Register Your First Domain Name by Fabian Tan

The cost of registering domain names has decreased dramatically over the years. Only just several years ago, it cost someone $30 to register a domain name. Now you can get them for as little as a few dollars, not more than the price of a coffee and a croissant at your nearest eatery.

Not many people register domain names for the same reasons. Some want to register URL’s to resell, others want to create an empire of Google Adsense sites, while others just want to set up a single ecommerce store. Yet more others register domain names to resell domain names or create communities like forums, where the satisfaction is with creating community, rather than making a profit.

The first step in registering your domain is to find out whether the domain you want is available. Most web hosting companies have a simple search function where you can find out in a matter of seconds whether your domain name is taken.

The general advice is to register your domain name only for one year. If your website doesn’t succeed after one year, you can scrap it and do not have to pay excessive fees. However, if you’re confident your website will succeed, register for longer period such as 3 or 5 years.

Before you register your domain name, it is important to check if your domain name violates any trademarks. You can do this search usually from a government portal. It is important not to violate any trademarks that other companies may have registered.
