The domain name of the site is the first thing that falls on the user's gaze while getting acquainted with your resource. Domain is the face of the site, which can provide the project with both additional success and ill-fame. Therefore, you need to be smart and responsible when choosing a domain name. And, of course, the domain of a serious site can only be of the second level.
It is necessary
- - access to the Internet;
- - an account on the domain registrar website;
- - money to pay for the domain.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the domain registrar that suits you best. This is a site, by creating an account on which you can buy free names for your web resources. Study customer reviews of different registrars, compare prices, read the terms of the contract. Make a choice. You can register a domain for cheap or even for free, but after a couple of months it turns out that the registrar's site has sunk into oblivion, and access to your domain names has been lost. But you can also register a domain with a time-tested and high-quality registrar, but at an unreasonably high price. Find a middle ground and create an account.
Step 2
Find a domain name that suits you, and most importantly, a free domain name. At any registrar, you will find the service for checking the availability of domains in the menu. When choosing a name for a site, remember that at one glance at the domain, the user should understand what awaits him after clicking on the link. The domain name must be fully relevant to the content of the site and contain a keyword that accurately reflects the subject of the resource. There is an opinion that search engines rank sites containing keywords in their names in high positions, although this has not been proven.
Step 3
When choosing a domain, stick to an important rule - the name should be easy to read and pronounce. Imagine that your client or just an acquaintance calls and asks to dictate the address of your site. Will you be able to dictate the domain clearly and quickly, without unnecessary explanations and asking again? If not, then the name you have chosen does not fit, continue the selection further.
Step 4
Top up your account on the registrar website. As a rule, the cost of a second-level domain varies from 90 to 600 rubles, but most webmasters register them for 100-150 rubles. Then you can proceed to the registration procedure of the chosen name, there is nothing complicated in it, the main thing is to clearly follow the instructions of the registrar.
Step 5
After receiving a message about the successful completion of domain registration, attach new DNS servers to it. You can get them from your hosting provider, or postpone this procedure if the site is not yet hosted.
