You know, I’m not sure if everyone realizes how incredibly powerful a domain can be. Seriously, a domain is like a Swiss Army knife; on the surface a simple straightforward tool, but open it up and whoa.
We’re going to tell you all the ways that you can use your domain for your business.
Let’s start with an obvious one. The first way to use your domain name is for your website. It’s the main reason most people come to us.
Your GoDaddy domain name is the cornerstone of your online presence and your website is it’s primary hub.
Next use your domain to create a custom email address for your business. Why use a generic free email address when you can have a professional email that’s domain-based like a boss?
Think about it. Do you really want to share the email address ‘poppyjoppy1717@gmail.com’ with your next serious prospect?
Too busy to build a website or find someone to do it for you? Consider a third way to use your domain: GoDaddy domain forwarding. GoDaddy domain forwarding is when someone types a website domain name into the web browser and then is sent or forwarded to somewhere else on the web.
For example, if you have a Facebook business page or an Instagram account, you can use your domain to forward visitors to that page right now. And when your website’s up, you can turn that off.
With domain forwarding in place, anybody who types a domain name into the browser will arrive to a site that’s already up and running, rather than a site that says, “under construction.”
But wait, there’s more. If you want to supercharge your online presence, you could and should also use your website domain name, minus the extension, as all your social media handles.
A handle is just cool kid speak for username on a social media platform. So, the handle’s the part that comes after the ‘@’ sign. So for example, you can find us ‘@godaddy’ on most social media platforms.
Just like your domain, a social media handle is a way for your customers to find your business online and communicate with you. Consistently using the same social media handles across all platforms builds brand recognition and makes you look like a social media star.
To see if your domain is available as a social media handle, hit up namecheck.com. And there you have it. All the power and potential for your domain. Don’t let it collect dust, put it to use.
