Domain Name Registration
Deciding on the best Domain Name for Your web business
Domain name choice is probably the most vital things you should to focus if you want to be a web marketer or a blog owner. If your web site’s website name is not a keyword rich one, then your efforts to promote the website and allow it to be a brand could be in vain. Your choice for your domain name you should leave a significant impression on the memory of users and also incorporate an important keyword or key phrase in it so that search engines will score the website well for on page SEO. I can assist you in choosing the best domain name for your business and in registering this domain name and also setting up your website with this name.
If you don’t want to get into any legal trouble, care should be taken when choosing a domain name. You should check if your desired domain name is registered as a trademark in Ireland and also in Europe. If you research what keyword, you want your domain name based around, and then add some other word, perhaps relating to your business name to that keyword to form a suitable domain name. You then can check if that one is available in dot com, dot net, dot org, and .ie format. You can do this at a number of hosting companies. I use the LetsHost domain checker to see if the one I want is available. If the dot com is available, that is the one that I will choose as it has more SEO value than the dot net, or dot org variations.
A Domain name usually have to be re-registered every year and it is important that this is done as you will lose control of this domain name if it is not re-registered.You will get emails warning way prior to any renewal dates which are approaching for domains and yo can also register your credit card details with the registrar to set the domain name registration to renew automatically
If the domain name that you want is already taken, you could approach the owner and make them an offer for it. It may cost you a lot of money, but if it enhances your business, it may be worth it. Another alternative is to look in the expired domain auctions to see if any of these would suit you. A major advantage of these expired domain names is that they may be aged, have a decent PR value and may have traffic already. These are all beneficial to search engine ranking.
The domain name extension designated to Ireland is .ie and it is a worthwhile to register keyword-rich domain names that have an association with your business name. You have to prove the association before you can claim these.
For example, I have recently registered fascinators.ie for a milliner who makes hats, head-pieces and fascinators. This website is now on the first page of google with minimal backlinks and for a term that gets over 500 searches per month in Ireland.
Another one that I have registered, sporthorses.ie was for a stud farm that specializes in sport horses.
My own, computerservices.ie is number 1 for the term “computer services”, and this term gets over 90 searches per month in Ireland.
