      In the online business the first step is to select a name for your website. It is the address of your business in the web. Though a name is a label of your website, but if you think carefully then you will see that it is not only your authority over your domain online, but it also represents your business.So if you select a name which gives an insight of your business then it will be convenient for the visitors to find out about your product and it will also work as a powerful tool for your online business. Suppose you have a business selling computers and if you choose a name like "my-website.com" which is not giving any hints about your business, then it will not be able to tell what sort of business you have.According to Domain Name System (DNS) there are four parts of a name. Those are server prefix (www.), a domain name, a server suffix (.com,.net etc) and a country code as a local option. You may have to search several times for choosing your website name because you need to select a unique name for yourself that is not taken by others yet. As people think almost in the same way all over the world, so it is possible that the name you want has already been registered.After selecting a relevant name for your website, the next step is to register it as early as possible so you can secure your domain name. When you register your website it will be better for you to get a dot com as an extension because it has some certain advantages than the other extensions.People will think a dot com as an extension for the website if you don't give them any hint. It will be more helpful if you register all the extensions of your website name. Then if someone types in the other extensions they will still be able to find your website. Registering in multiple extensions can help you to capture wider visitors also. Giving a country code in the name is good to catch the visitors of your neighboring area for local businesses.You can renew your domain name registration annually, but it will be wise if you renew it for an extended term to avoid losing your domain. Do lock your domain name to protect your website from unauthorized activity.The above process may help you to choose and register your website easily.All domain names must be linked to a domain hosting account before you can upload your website contents to it. You can also register your domain name directly through them.There are many domain hosting companies out there but which one are good? Just read our BlueHost review to find out.
