Domain Registration
Domain Registration is the industry term for the purchasing of a web site address (domain name) such as yourname.com.
Why get a domain name?
If you are looking for web hosting service, you are probably planning on putting your business online and want your customers and friends to be able to find your business on the web. What easier way than using your own name or business name as an Internet address?

Is your organization's name still available as a .com domain name? If it's not, you may end up going through a costly legal battle, or actually having to buy the chance to use your own business name as an address! That is why it is so important to register your domain name today, before it's gone forever!
Is your domain name taken?
A lot of companies assume that the best domain name for them is the name of their company. Most businesses that offer services or products can have an even more memorable domain name if they choose a name of an item or service which they sell. Suppose your company was named R&J Enterprises, and you sold balloons, which do you think would be more memorable, RJEnterprises.com, or balloons.com? Although, if your business name is still available, you will probably also want to reserve it as well. After all, you've earned the name, you might as well own it.
Did you know?
There are professionals in the industry known as domain acquisition specialists that can help you find available and soon to be available domain names for your business that are marketable and memorable.
These specialists can also research and help you to acquire a domain name that is already registered by someone else.
“If you think that people won't have interest in your domain, and you'll just wait and register it yourself, you could be wrong. Cyber-squatters will register the domain just to turn around and sell it to you.”
