on godaddy.com

Answer by WebDesigner414
You cant put a website on that domain. You must have at least one hosting account to put your website on before you can direct a domain to it.

If you look at it like this:

Person > Domain > Web Server > Website

Bob > www.bob.com > ns1.bluehost.com > YOUR WEBSITE! YAY!

Hope this helps,

Answer by SV_Dragunov
Sorry to say this…but you can’t unfortunately. You have to buy the domain name from a hosting company.

You can do surveys and offers at domainlagoon.com It’s part of the Dietzel & Dietzel Inc and its affiliate programs have a reputation of not being scams. It might take a while to do the free surveys/fill-outs to earn points for your domain though.

What’s a good site for domain name suggestions?

March 17th, 2012 dean Posted in Choosing a domain name 3 Comments »

Question by Rob L: What’s a good site for domain name suggestions?
I’d like to make my own website around my teaching/writing/editing jobs, but am having trouble selecting a domain name that encapsulates all that I do.

What’s a site that could help me choose a good name?

Best answer:

Answer by Billybob
I don’t know of a site that helps you pick a domain name, but dyndns.com or godaddy.com will tell you if it is available. Also, if you are hosting from a server on a dynamic IP address (most domestic connections do this) you will need to register a dynamic DNS service so that when the IP changes your website doesn’t go down. I have DynDNS and it was easy to set up.

Choosing the Right Domain Names

March 13th, 2012 dean Posted in Choosing a domain name No Comments »

You might be surprised to know that domain names can make the difference between the success or failure of a company. The search engines use the domain name to help people find your business or product. The easier the name is to remember, the more people will return to your site when searching the product or service you are offering. This is why many people incorporate keywords into their domain name.

Brand Based and SEO Domain Names

There are two types of domain names. One is the brand based and the other is keyword based. The brand based domain name is usually for a specific group of people or for a certain well-known brand of something. For instance, everyone knows what sony.com specializes in, so this is a brand name. A search using this name is going to open up the world of electronics from games to computers to music. Brand name searches are usually searched by people who are looking for a specific brand of something.

SEO domain names are focused on finding the right name to show up in the search engines when someone is looking for your product.

The optimal way of doing this is to incorporate your business or product into the domain name. For example, if you are in the business of selling shoes, the keywords you use will let people know this is what your website contains. While shoes.com is not available, due to the popularity, other keywords will be.

Finding the Perfect Domain Name

When you think of shoes, you think of feet, so incorporating this into your domain name is an idea. For instance, happyfeet.com focuses on the comfort level of shoes. For those who may stand on their feet for hours at a time, this is a consideration when shopping for shoes. Another focus today is being eco-friendly and shoes can be made from materials that do not pollute the environment. With all the changes being made, this is another consideration when it comes to domain names.

Another thing you might consider using is different types of shoes that are common to people who are searching the Internet. Boots, high-heels, sandals, crocs and sneakers are all types of shoes that may be incorporated into a domain name. Are the shoes you will be selling work shoes? They could be a nurse’s shoe. There are many ideas that can work around the word shoe to allow people to associate your site with what they are searching.

Algorithms

Search engines use algorithms to rank listings. The algorithms they use are kept secret because they are unique to the particular search engine. They use the algorithms to determine which ones are the highest relevant sites in response to searches. Then the sites are listed according to their relevance. This is one reason the keyword can play a very important part when searching for a domain name for your site.

Why are domain names important? Because they are used to find anything and everything you search for on the Internet. If you want to succeed when it comes to online business, the domain name you choose will need to reflect your service or product to attract traffic. Without traffic, you will not have a revenue generating business.

Which domain name should be used for a blog?

January 6th, 2012 dean Posted in Choosing a domain name No Comments »

Question by qpuncturist: Which domain name should be used for a blog?
Hi,

I will be releasing a product soon and already have a domain name chosen for it.

Should my blog have a different domain name from the product websites or should I choose to post the blog on the same one?

I thought that if I use a different name it will throw people off and be even more objective, even though a blog is probably mostly subjective!!

Best answer:

Answer by Dino
You can use any domain name but its name should be related to your business. more information abut it you can find at http://www.urlstate.com

What is the least expensive way to register a domain name? How long does it last? Can I choose my host later?

January 5th, 2012 dean Posted in Choosing a domain name 2 Comments »

Question by PO: What is the least expensive way to register a domain name? How long does it last? Can I choose my host later?
I’d like to register a domain name. I’m not going to use it for anything right now; I just want to reserve it for my website in the future (possibly a couple years or more from now).

So, what’s the cheapest way, and how long does it last? If I register it at one site, am I “locked in” to using that site to renew the registration when it expires?

And, am I locked into that site to host my content when I’m ready? In other words, can I choose to register my domain on one site and choose a completely different site to host the content?

Thanks!

Answer by John
Make it a generic name such as Google. or

serachwebhostshotelsuniswallpapersbanksproductssmsfreescriptssoftwarebookscelebsmovies.com

That domain would suit your website because it tells the viewer what the site is about and you would have the biggest domain ever so you would be more popular.
