Domain Names
Probably the most important yet overlooked aspect of your website is your domain name. A domain name is what gives the world access to your website. It’s what they enter into the address bar in a browser to find your website’s content on the World Wide Web. Helping you register and get all set up with your new domain name is a cinch for us!
Don’t make the mistake of launching your website with a weak domain name. When choosing your new domain name, it is a good idea to pick something catchy related to what your site is all about. This can help you with your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and search engine ranking which can bring in valuable traffic that you could otherwise not achieve organically (word of mouth, etc). Here’s a little more information about what domain names are exactly:
How do domain names work?
Domain names work in tandem with DNS (Domain Name Servers) that are akin to a phone/address book. These domain names are translated and pointed to IP addresses where website files are located. Although computers (machines) solely access websites based on IP addresses, it is far easier for us to remember a domain name than a string of numbers.
What are things to consider when setting up a new domain name?
Not only do you want to pick something catchy, but you also want to pick something that is easy to remember and relatively short. If the domain name is for a website that represents a local company or business, it is highly suggested to use geographical keywords as well as other keywords related to the type of industry that the particular company or business is involved in.
Don’t make the mistake of launching your website with a weak domain name. Remember, this is how the world is going to be able to access your new website. Without visitors and traffic, your website means nothing. At Site Rockstar, we can help you brainstorm and determine your next domain name!
