DOMAIN NAMES

If you want to use your own domain name (eg: yourname.com) as an address where people find your site, you must first secure it, register it; and then keep it registered every year. All registrants must pay an annual fee to the registration clearing house in order to keep a domain name registered and the domain name will become available to others if the registration is not kept current and paid.

We can research and register a domain name for you for as little as $25. Domain names are registered with specialized companies that assign and protect your interest in that domain name once it is registered. Registrations can be made for 1 to 10 years at a time. However, the cost per year is fixed at the registration clearing house and a 10 year registration costs the same as ten 1 year registrations. The advantage is that you don't have to keep track of the anniversary and take the effort to re-register which reduces the possibility of loosing your domain name.

With our registration service we can register your domain name and keep it maintained for you. We do everything for you starting with researching available names, submitting a report of available names from your choices along with some suggestions made by our staff if the names you requested are no longer available, registration of your final name choice, and an annual e-mail notification within 30 days of the anniversary renewal date on which your domain registration is to expire. The all-inclusive cost of this service is currently $25.00/year. First time registration may be higher due to research time required for exploring availability of domain names but is almost never more than $50.00. The process is simple but must be done carefully.

First the name(s) you desire must be researched to determine availability. Give us several examples of domain names you would like to secure listing them in order of preference for a better chance of getting a name you really like. Keep in mind that the most common and desirable domain suffixes are .com, .us, .org,, .net, .biz, and many names with these suffixes have already been taken. It is a good idea to get your specific domain name as soon as possible before it has been taken by someone else. The domain registration business states that 10,000 new names are registered every day in the USA alone and once a name is taken, it remains in the hands of that registrant for as long as they care to keep it registered. Once it's gone, it's gone! As an investment in the future of your business or organization, the $25 per year required to secure and maintain a domain name can be one of the simplest and best investments you will ever make. It is the single most significant move you can make to secure your future presence on the Web.

Whether you are ready to publish a site on the web today or not, it is a good idea to secure your domain name as soon as possible before somebody else gets it.
