Business domain name registration

Have YOU registered a business domain name for your company yet?

If not, then it should be high on your list of priorities if you want to ensure your preferred domain name is not taken by another company with a similar name.

Here are a few guidelines that should help you to choose a good domain name for your business...

1. Choose a domain name that conveys the nature of your business as well as the name of the company.

2. If the domain name that best fits your company name has already been taken e.g. Johnsmithscleaning.co.uk consider variations on the name that might still be available. For example Johnsmithscleaningservices.co.uk This name is quite lengthy but at least it contains extra keywords which should help get more results for various search phrases used.

3. Ideally, the length of the domain name should be kept reasonably short if possible because it's easier for potential customers to remember if they want to return to your website.

4. It's worth considering to purchase not only the best domain name that closely resembles your business name, but also consider buying domain names that are helpful in driving traffic to your main website. Web forwarding can be used to redirect people to your main site from another registered domain. Or a one page promotional page can also be used for a similar purpose or for collecting emails of enquirers.

5. Always choose a reliable company with a good reputation that has been recommended by someone who has used them before. I like to use 123-Reg for registering domains because they make the process of configuring domain names easy, and they are very affordable.

Designing and building your own website

Many people like the idea of building their own website and publishing it themselves, which is fine as long as you understand the procedures involved in getting your website online. For some, it can be a little confusing without some guidance.

Even if you learn how to design a website, and upload the files to your chosen web host, there's still the matter of getting visitors to come to your site. If it's a personal website it probably won't matter too much if you're not getting a lot of visitors, but if it's a business website and you're relying on finding potential customers then it's important to understand how to drive traffic to your site as well. This is generally the hardest part.

Having a good knowledge of SEO (search engine optimisation) is essential to getting a high ranking position for your website. Without implementing the most effective SEO techniques your website may never get found.
