How to Buy a Domain Name

[nomad]

When you are buying a domain name for the first time, you need to consider the following things:
Try to keep your domain name short, preferably two words
Check the renewal fees (sometimes you can get a domain for a cheap price but you will have to spend a lot of money for renewal)
Keywords in your domain
Well, extensions do not matter for SEO, therefore, you can choose any extension you want.

Before buying a domain name, you need to consider the purpose, that is if it is personal or for a business. You also need to consider the keywords and also the availability.

And you need to make sure that your domain name goes in line with your business name so that they will not be contradicting at the end of the day and it will not be hard to reach your website

You cannot buy a domain name and you have just 10 members on your website or 30 members registered most of them register with email and login once or did never activate their account and you did, you need to have a massive community of users so you could monetize domain name cost from ads at least.

I always feel that when it comes to buying a domain name, one of the first things you need to look at is the name you choose. Anything too long may not be wise and even something you choose may not be available so it's good to choose a domain name wisely.

Ensuring you check the renewal prices as well is a must. You could get a domain name for a few dollars for the first year but it could cost you $100s to renew.

First, brainstorm keywords and ideas for your ideal domain name. Check availability using a domain registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap. If available, select your preferred extension (.com, .net etc.) and term length (usually 1-10 years). Purchase and enter billing and contact info. Once purchased, you manage DNS settings to point your domain to a hosting provider and build out your site.
