Domain Name Registration

Your domain name will be a name of your choosing followed by .com, .net, .info, .biz, .org or one of the other available extensions. However, since many domain names are already taken by others, we may have to get creative. The key is to find an available domain name that is easy for people to remember and it should, ideally, include the most important search phrase or keyword people will use to find you on the web. Please see the web site promotion page for further explanation about keywords, search engines and url's.

Once you decide on a name, it can be registered it at a cost of around $15 per year. Once you have registered a domain name, it effectively belongs to you. Even if you're not quite ready to build your site, you can register and hold a domain name. It's a good idea to get your domain as quickly as possible. This will reserve it for your use until you have built your site and are ready to launch it.

If you'd like to do a search and see if the domain you have in mind is available, follow the link to Indigo Sky Hosting (our sister site). On the main page you'll see a box that says "Start Your Domain Search Here." Type in your domain name and click the search button. Please be patient this page is sometimes slow to load.
