Registering a Domain Without a Hosting Service
You are able to register a domain name with a Domain Registrar. When choosing a domain registrar and registering your Domain Name, generally, you won't need to host your Website with a domain registrar. Try to find a reputable and certified domain registrar.

Choosing a Domain Name
Your Domain Name is the first web element that visitors use to find your Website.

Your Domain Name, as your Website address is the first impression about your Website and your enterprise. Having the right domain name is very important to giving a positive, great impression.

Generally, the shorter the domain name, the better. Short domain names are easier to read, type and remember. Try to keep your Domain Name short and memorable.

Choose a domain name that expresses your enterprise or your enterprise's services or products.

If it makes sense, tying your Domain Name to your enterprise's brand rather than your enterprise's services or products may be the better strategy. Sometimes it could be best to choose a domain name (for branding purposes) before naming your enterprise.

Avoid domain names that are made of multiple words with the same letters or same letters linking words together or letters together that look the same. Avoid using numbers or letters for words (i.e. 1, 2, 3, U, etc.) and don't accidentally create an awkward or offensive phrase. Avoid copyright issues, so don't choose a domain name in a way that could become a copyright conflict problem.

Choosing a Top-Level Domain
Choose a Top-Level Domain (TLD) as the letters following the dot or the suffix (i.e. [dot]com, [dot] org, etc.) of your Domain Name. The 2 most common TDLs for commercial enterprises are [dot]com and [dot]net. These 2 TDLs are easy for website visitors to remember and are generally assumed by website visitors.

Typical TDLs examples follow, such as:

  • [dot]com for commercial businesses
  • [dot]net for network organizations
  • [dot]org for organizations (generally nonprofit)
  • [dot]biz as an alternative to [dot]com for business
  • [dot]us for domestic US enterprises

Some TLDs require certain credentials to get. For instance, the [dot]pro (.pro) TLD is meant for use by professionals. If you have the credentials necessary to get one of these domains, you may want to consider it.

Domain Registration Process
