I’ve Found a Domain Name, Now What?

You need to register it, because it is first come first serve basis. Some companies will specifically buy domain names that they think they can sell in the future for a profit. So it’s better to not wait on that type of thing. Even if it might be a few years till you actually make your website. In the long run the small fee you might pay in the meantime will be pennies on the dollar if someone buys it before you and then you have to negotiate with them to get it back.

Registering or owning a Domain Name and building a website on it are two separate things. This is why a domain name might be registered and not have a website on it. To build a website you have to buy a Hosting Package and build one. Then you need your registered domain name to your hosting package. But this is how companies are able to pay the $12 a year fee to register a domain name and hold it for a long time. Buying a Hosting Package and building a website is a much more significant commitment. This is also why you should check with a domain registration company verses just typing in a domain name into an internet browser and seeing if anything comes up.

Now that you know the basics good luck in your search for a domain name. There are allot of great names still out there. I’m sure you will think of something amazing if you put your mind to it.
