DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION
Registering a domain name is a pretty straight forward process. In fact the hardest part of registering a domain name is coming up with a name that has not already been registered.
The first thing you need to come up with is the name itself, this believe it or not is the hardest part. As there have been so many domain names registered there are not many choices left for keywords to use in your domain name. There are two routes you can go down for choosing your name, using keywords or thinking up your very own word.
Which ever route you choose you are going to need several ideas for a name so jot lots of ideas on a piece of paper first. Write down a list of keywords that you can use in any combination or come up with a list of your own made up words. You could of course try making up your own word such as Google, it's both catchy and memorable.
Once you have a list of possible names you will need to find out if they are available. This I will do for you. I will search to determine if the name(s) are available at no cost to you. The only cost will be the actual name registration fee.
Once you have registered a new name you will need to point it towards your web space, this is presuming you are purchasing the name to create your own site. Again, I will do this for you, the only cost to you will be the annual hosting fee.
An important word of advice before you register your domain, all sales are final, that means once you have purchased a domain name there is no refund. I would advise only registering for a minimum of 1 year initially , you don't want to be stuck with a useless domain name for 10 years.
Because domain name registration and domain hosting is not done in-house no refund can be made for these cost. No profit is added to domain name registration or domain hosting. Cost for these two service's are at the cost that the hosting company charges. I will research the domain name you have selected and once it is determined that the name is available I will have the domain name selected registered and setup domain hosting. I do not charge for this service. Domain Name Registration (DNR) is currently $12.00 per year and Domain Hosting is $96.40 per year. Domain hosting can also be obtained on a monthly basis for $9.95 and quarterly for $26.85. However, unless your site is for an election or a one time special event, I would recommend that you purchase hosting on an annual basis. TOTAL ANNUAL COST $107.40
