Have you found a good domain name that you would like to register? Great. Your domain name is your online identity and having a great name can influence your success online. A good domain name should be short and represent your brand in the manner you want. Moreover, the domain name should be easy for your customers to remember.
After finding a good domain name, it’s time to get it registered. Most domain name registrars will register your domain name for under $10 per year. If you are registering the domain name from a large registrar, you may even get offers that will reduce your cost to under five bucks.
Choose the Right Domain Name Registrar
However, you should be careful with the company that you choose to register your domain name with. As much as you would like to save on the cost of the domain name, make sure you are not signing up with a registrar that will lock you in a contract that has some hidden charges. For example, some registrars may charge a small fee for domain registration but add enormous fees for transfers or management.
Before you register your domain name with any company, check the following:
- Price. Look for a company that charges less than $10 to register a domain name.
- Renewal fee. Check how much you will have to pay when renewing the domain name.
- DNS management. Make sure the company will allow you to manage the DNS servers on your own.
- Transfer fees. Find out how much you will pay should you want to transfer the domain name to another registrar.
- Fixed packages. Make sure that you will not be locked into paying for other services you may not need, for example hosting, SEO and so on.
Registering a domain name is not a difficult process and with the right company, you should have your online identity in just a few minutes. When choosing a domain name registration company, make sure that you will not be locked into a deal that that requires you to pay for additional services or products.
