Domain Name Registration Tips - What You Should Know

Three things you should know about domain name registrations.

#1
if you have good ideas in your head i.e. an internet business – you should think about good domain names and register them. you can go to
http://www.melbourneit.com.au/
this is the site we use to look up if a domain name is available. You should always look at getting the .com but can ALSO get the .com.au (see below).

There are a lot of versions of domain names available now and .net and .biz will work too but really .com is obviously the best to choose. If you really wanted to you could get makemoremoneyonline.net and as long as people are directed to your website via links but .com and .com.au in Australia are preferred.

Once you have found what you want, you go to http://www.godaddy.com/ and register it for around $10/yr. You can register for one year initially as they always have deals where they will let you know when they have specials such as domain renewals at 20% off, so and you can go and extend it then. (They are amazing at trying to get more money out of you – you don’t need any of their special registrations, protection etc).

If you want to register an Australian domain name (.com.au), you can't do that on GoDaddy so for that you should go to http://www.crazydomains.com.au/

#2
You should all own your own name! i.e. http://www.johnsmith.com/ you never know when you will need it, you certainly don’t want someone else having it.
