Domain Name Services

Comprehensive Website Design Services

All of our web design packages include comprehensive domain name services, commonly referred to as a “free domain name” in marketing language aimed at general consumers. The process begins with selecting the most suitable name for your business. Once a name is chosen, we can handle the registration for you, typically through Moniker.com, often costing less than $20 per year. Upon registration with reputable national registrars like Moniker, the domain name becomes officially recognized worldwide, granting you ownership of a unique piece of the internet. Moniker is a well-established registrar in the industry, providing robust domain registration services alongside domain management tools, DNS services, and other related features, focusing exclusively on domain registration rather than web hosting.

Domain Name Services Included

Our domain name services are an integral part of our web design packages. Many of our clients already have a business name when they approach us for a website. However, if you need assistance with choosing a domain name, we conduct a thorough analysis of your business, considering factors such as competition and the nature of your products or services. From this information, we compile a list of potential domain names that were available at the time of creation. It’s important to note that domain name availability can change rapidly, as thousands of new domains are registered daily.

Finding the Perfect Domain Name

At Glenn Website Design, we understand the critical role that the right business name plays in registering a domain name. Selecting this name is not as simple as brainstorming an idea that fits your business; often, the ideal name you conceive is already taken or in use.

Branding

Finding an available domain name can be challenging. Sometimes, it is advantageous to create a new term that captures the desired image for your business. Consider the example of Google. Many years ago, “Google” was a misspelling of “googol,” a mathematical term for the number 1 followed by 100 zeros. The founders chose this name to signify the search engine’s mission to provide vast quantities of information. Today, the word “Google” has evolved into a verb meaning to search for information on the internet, a testament to successful branding and domain name selection.

Steps to Choose and Register

1. Brainstorming and Research:
   • Generate a list of potential names related to your business.
   • Use tools like domain name generators and keyword research to explore variations and synonyms.
   • Check the availability of these names using domain registration websites.
2. Evaluation:
   • Ensure the name is easy to pronounce, spell, and remember.
   • Consider the length; shorter names are typically easier to recall.
   • Check for trademark conflicts to avoid legal issues.
3. Selection and Registration:
   • Choose a name that reflects your brand identity and resonates with your target audience.
   • Register the domain with a reputable registrar like Moniker.com. We can assist with this process to ensure everything is handled smoothly.
4. Finalization:
   • Secure the domain and relevant social media handles.
   • Implement the domain name into your website development process, ensuring consistency across all platforms.

By carefully considering these factors and following these steps, you can select and register a domain name that not only enhances your brand’s online presence but also supports your long-term business goals.

Other Domain Name Registers
