Of course, you can just start designing your website on your PC and work the Domain name into the titles later. Sometimes you end up doing that anyway because you change your mind and get a different name.

How to Select and Register a Domain Name

Usually the first thing to do is determine what Domain Names are available that will identify your new business website. They must be unique, so there has been a common registry since day one. Now most Hosting services also provide Domain Registration, but they are separate services from one another.

I recommend that you brainstorm several ideas for your domain name first, keeping in mind what your website will do for your audience or customers. Often you can just type the name you like in your address bar to see if it is available. Most experts will recommend that you begin with keyword research on your field of interest. The goal is to find a low-competition, highly searched keyword phrase that you can work into your domain name and your homepage titles. This will automatically give you some organic traffic.

Domain Registration will cost only $10-20 US or less for a year for .com, .net, and .org names. You may get reduced rates if you reserve the name for longer, or purchase it as part of a Hosting Plan. Actually, some of the new extensions may cost more, like the .biz and .info, but it depends upon where you purchase as to the deal you get.

I have used several Registry services and Domain services and they ARE different. I have removed all but one from my Recommended List. Hostgator is my choice. It is reliable, low cost, easy-to-use and has great support.
