Acquire the best domain for your business.
We cannot overstate that point. In order to get the best domain you first must do research (or hire someone to do it for you). Don’t snap the first name just because it is available. Just consider for a moment, when you buy a new car, you first do research about all the makes, models and their reports. When you buy a home, you research the community, pricing and condition of the property. So why should it be different with domains. A domain, or domains, for your e-business will impact your profitability for years to come, perhaps the entire life of your business. So do your due diligence.
Where to do research? We have put together some posts on selecting freshly available domains at registration cost on our
domain blog, but you should also seriously consider purchasing through a domain aftermarket for best domains you can afford. There are some fine online publications where you can start. First, make sure you bookmark us,
IDEAe.com, as you will likely want to come back to develop your domain(s). Next, check out these fine sites to get you started:
DN Journal, and
Domain Name News.
Open a Free Domain Registrant Account
Before you even register your first domain, you will need a registrant account. Most registration companies offer this for free. There are many out there such as Go Daddy, NameCheap, Register.com, Network Solutions, etc. We also offer reliable and secure domain registration services through our partnership via
DNS Wave. You need a registrant account to start acquiring domains whether through fresh registration or by transferring from other domain owners through a domain aftermarket purchase.
A domain name is your e-business identity on the Web.
DNS Wave gives you full control over your investment.
Be ware of companies that promise “free” domains with their services. In most cases the company offering this holds the domain in trust for the customer. But this means that the domain is really registered by the company and the customer never truly has ownership of it.
We believe that domains are too important assets in e-business and must be held in ownership by the customer that uses it. As such we have installed a complete domain registration service at
www.dnswave.com, partnering with the Web’s biggest domain registration tech companies. You keep the domain in your control with your own secure access. The domain is registered with you as the registrant and owner of the domain. You have access 24/7 to online and telephone support, and someone is always ready to guide you.
You can register as many domains as you want. By default the domains are pointing to our servers but you are free to point them to any hosting server should you decide to use other services.
