Getting a Domain Name for your Website!

While registration with meraURL.com, you may be in a need of your domain name that should be registered and
should be your own.

A.SELECTION of the RIGHT DOMAIN NAME:


First thing, you should remember is that the domain name should be easy to remember so that your friends, relatives,
acquaintances, clients, customers, and the concerned, should retain easily in their minds and should not forget
easily. But the following points must also be kept while selecting the domain name.

* If you have an established business, you should select your domain name that should be suitable to your business.

* If you have launched some products and would like to promote them, you may select domain name that appeals the
product and reflects the identity of product(s).

* If you would like to have webpresence for a hobby to share your pictures, thoughts and others with your friends,
relatives and with the world, you may use your own name.

Second, the spelling of a domain name must not be confusing; attention must also be paid to the spelling. It should
also be considered that the domain name if misspelled can also get to others' website that may be your competitor(s).
Golden rule is to check whether the domain name can easily and accurately be written on the otherside if conveyed
over telephone.

Third, on the above lines, one must also consider the length of the domain name.

If possible, domain name with a business view, must be registered with all extensions.


B. SELECTION of the RIGHT EXTENSION OF A DOMAIN NAME:

The last part of the domain name is also significant. It clears the identity of the domain as to whether the same is
business oriented (.biz), non-profit organisation (.org), commercial (.com), related telemedia (tv), networking (.net).

The extension also reflects the geographic location of the domain holder. India commerce site (.co.in), India non-profit
organisation (.org.in), India networking site (.net.in), India (.in), Asia (.asia).

But one also consider that .com extension is the default considerations of maximum number of people as they
associte the website address with the .com extension. The first impression in one's mind is of .com, like if you say to
anybody of abc website, immediately, one thinks of abc.com.

C. SEARCHING DOMAIN NAME REGISTRAR:

There are many webhosting companies in India and outside. One must be careful while searching the genuine domain
name registrars; as some of the registrars have been seen reluctant while giving domain control panel (which is
complete ownership, full administration controls and thus full freedom) of the domain name to its real owner. Some
time they charge high or do not give the domain name; or some times, they bound to renew their domain name always
with them.
