ECOMMERCE GUIDE

    

Step 3 of 5: Select a Domain Name for your Web site
You must select a Domain Name (www.yourcompany.com). Your domain name is an easy to remember web address that people type into the address bar of their browser to be brought to your web site. If you don’t have a domain name already, you will want to register it as soon as you find it is available. For the best results, your domain name should be transferred onto your Web host’s servers. If you already own a domain name, you will want to initiate the domain name transfer after placing your order.

Hostway makes it easy for you to handle your domain name registration. You can check to see if the Domain Name you want is available right on our home page. Once you find it, you can go directly to our online order form and register your domain name at the same time you order your Web hosting plan.

If you already have an existing domain name, you just need to transfer it over to our servers. This service is free. In most cases, we can initiate the domain name transfers onto our servers and you can just confirm the transfer with your registrar. Please visit www.hostway.com.au for more info.

Your domain name should be simple for visitors to recall and distinguishable from other sites. It is a good idea to choose a name that directly relates to the type of business you own. Your Domain Name is like hanging a sign on the front door. For example, if you own an antique shop, named Angie’s Antiques, it is logical to name your site, www.angiesantiques.com. This makes it almost effortless for potential visitors to guess your Domain Name and visit your site.

It is also a good idea to register many similar domain names and set them as domain aliases to your web site. For example, someone might type in www.angiesantiqueshop.com, or www.angiesantiquestore.com, and their browser will automatically point them to your Web site at www.angiesantiques.com.

If you are not yet ready to build a Web presence, but have an idea in mind for a Web site, you should still register the Domain Name of your choice. This way you are guaranteed that name and nobody else can select it.If you are not yet ready to build a Web presence, but have an idea in mind for a Web site, you should still register the Domain Name of your choice.
