When you want to receive mail (snail mail) from someone you let them know your
mailing address.
A domain name is very similar to a mailing address, as it is the
address for your website. Each domain name most likely will end with a .com,
.net (network), .org (non-profit organization). All domain names are unique,
and there are no two domain names that are alike. For this reason not all
domain names are available, and a domain name search is required to see if
your domain name is available.
Therefore, it is good to have a few names chosen. Once you have registered your
domain name it is stored in a master database.
Selecting an appropriate domain name is crucial and important step in developing
your website solution. The domain name should be short and eye-catching.
Most importantly the domain name should contain a keyword or phrase about who you
are and/or what you do (e.g. www.amishoakaccents.com).
When adding your domain name to your business card it is helpful to use title case
to separate out individual words (e.g. www.SilverMapleStudio.net)
