How Important Is Picking The
Best Domain Name And
Hosting Service?
Start Your Own Internet Business Doesn’t Have To Be Difficult
The very first thing you must do is pick the niche your going to enter & then choose the best Domain Name and Hosting Company to host your web site. Still a bit confused, I’ll help you understand it better as you read on.
Choosing an appropriate domain name is very important. First and foremost, when it comes to your domain name, try to stay away from the silly, stupid, ridiculous or clever. Keep your domain name simple and make it something your customers can remember if they lose the link to your business website.
Take note that, while your domain name on Geocities or AOL may seem like the least expensive way to go, it may also get you dropped from certain search engines. Some search engines ignore domain addresses that reside on these ‘free servers’ or on the ‘cheap’ servers.
Cheaper Is Not Always Better
Even if your site is recognized and considered by search engines, a professional domain name that uses your primary company name or associated words is likely to get more attention and be considered as a stable business by your prospective customers.
Purchasing domain names are not that expensive which cost less than $10 buckaroos per domain name. If you purchase it through www.NameCheap.com who is my personal preference they throw in “Who Is Guard” protection for FREE when you get your domain with them. Most other domain name companies charge extra for that service.
Don’t know what “Who Is Guard” is? Don’t worry. It is a way of protecting your personal information from anyone knowing who registered a particular domain name. Kinda like Identity Protection in a way for your domain name.
Really Take Your Time Picking Your Domain
Using one of your keywords in your domain name can increase your score on some search engines. For example, solderingirons.com could be more effective as Electric-soldering-irons.com, if that domain name was available.
You might also choose to establish more than one domain name using keywords and then link your ‘doorway’ domain sites to your primary site. But you will have to pay for each of the domain name and also the monthly hosting fees . It all depends on the type and size of your business and your competition.
Keep in mind that some search engines disregard ‘doorway’ sites. So put at least a page of content on the doorway site with some useful information and then link it to your primary site. But don’t design it as an empty page.
The Benefits of Choosing A Good Domain Name & Hosting:
- Higher ranking in the search engines
- People will remember your domain name easier

The other reason being, you can have one, three, five, or even more email addresses that all contain your business name, and give your business a professional feel. When customers get emails from dominicstone@solderingirons.com they feel as if they are dealing with a stable, professional business operation.
No need for customers to understand how you manage all your email boxes on your domain. They just need to feel your business is dependable and reputable.
