	Domain name registration and what you should know!
You have finally decided to go and register that domain name. The domain name of your dreams. What should you do first, and where should you go? What do you need to know before you even consider registering a domain name? First thing is first. Is your domain name available? You can get lots of great domain names, but at this stage in the game quite a few of the good ones are taken, this however does not mean you can not find something to suit your business needs. You should try to find something that's easy to remember. Something that's ear catching. If it's taken in the .com try finding it in .net or .org. You can now register names under .us .tv .biz .info .name .cc .ws .bz and so many others are now available. You can even register country specific names such as. .ca .uk .us Uwhois It might be a good idea to look into these other options before you get started. The second thing you then want to do is purchase your domain name. You go to purchase your name and stop in your tracks. The name of your dreams is going to cost your business $50.00/USD and that's just for a .com .org .net name. You realised you were going to have to spend a little money if you wanted to get into business, but that's more than you wanted to spend on a domain name. It's also way more than you need to spend. Internic has a great tutorial for choosing domain names. They advise that most domains cost about $5-6/USD to register. The rest is just what companies are charging on top of that. You really do not have to be paying more than a couple of dollars above this to have a .com .net .org name registered for your business. If you want to purchase low cost domain names Oritsfree.com has them for $8.85/USD that's also the cost to transfer domains as well. Now some companies will give you a domain as part of a hosting package. Eg. Host with us for a year and we will throw in a free domain name. If you need hosting as well as domain names, you might want to consider taking advantage of one of these packages that Oritsfree has to offer. We have a nice starter package with Annual hosting of $25.00/USD/ We also have several other monthly and Annual packages to suit all types of needs. It really just depends on what you are looking for. There are other things to consider when you are purchasing a domain name, or transferring one. Domains once they are purchased can not be transferred for a period of 60 days. The company you register that name with has you at their whim for the next two months. The next thing to consider is do you need the domain name right away or is it an upcoming requirement? If it's not an upcoming requirement then you might want to have it parked. What is parking? It's when a company holds your purchased domain name until you are ready to use it. Some companies will do this free just for registering with them. Others will charge a fee. It pays to shop around. There are other terms you should familiarise yourself with. Not all register services are created equally. Some come with quite a few benefits for free. Oritsfree offers these registration features, free with domain purchase. Email Forwarding - You get about 100 webmail address that will match your companies name. Web Site Redirection - This will redirect an url or a frame. To any internet or url address specified. IP Address Pointing - To any ip address. DNS Management -Change nameserver information through a domain control panel. Domain Transfers Registrar Lock - Which prevents outside sources from transferring your domain to another registrar. With all this in mind you are all set to choose your domain registry, and to go ahead with your website. Internic has more about domains. »
