Steps for registering a domain name

Your domain name is the way most people look for you online. There’s a prefix, usually www, the name itself, and a dot, then a three letter (sometimes two letter) suffix. This suffix can tell people a lot about your site. For instance, organizations go by .org, networks go by .net, governmental organizations use .com, and many businesses use .biz. Educational sites and colleges can use .edu. There’s more regulation on some of these suffixes than others, so some sites cross the lines a little.

If you’ve already got a great domain name for your site, you’re a step ahead of the game, but you’re still not done. You have to register your domain name with a domain name registrar. That means that no one else can use this address. Step one of doing this involves setting up an account with a registrar that’s accredited by ICANN, the international body that’s responsible for domain name management. This process is usually pretty simple, and you should be able to do it online.

You should be able to get domain names for as low as $1.99 for .info domains and $10 for .com domains.

Here are the steps of choosing a domian name, hope help!

ACTION Step #1: Pick a topic you're "irrationally passionate" about.

ACTION Step #21: Boil the topic down to one word. For example: "homeschooling"

ACTION Step #3: Check Google's keyword tool to determine what people are typing in to find information on that topic.

ACTION Step #4: Pick a keyword to focus on that has at least 30,000 searches, no more than 300,000 - just a rule of thumb.

ACTION Step #5: Pick a dot COM domain name with that keyword in it.

ACTION Step #6: Register the dot COM and dot ORG version of the domain name.
