⭐ 5 things to know before registering your first domain name:

👉 Choose the right domain name!
Your domain name is your online address. If possible, make your domain name match the name of your company.
Your domain name should be short, catchy and easy to remember. Test your domain by saying it out loud and see if people can spell it correctly.

👉 Choose the right domain extension!
The domain extension comes after the dot in your web address. Think in terms of .ME, .com or .bike – options are many so make sure to play with it.
You can use your .ME to create a catchy call-to-action.

👉 Choose the right registrar!
Maybe you already have a favorite registrar, the company with which you register domain names. In case you don’t, we will leave a list of our partner registrars here: https://domain.me/accredited-registrars/.

👉 Check if your domain name is available!
If it’s already taken, go back to the blackboard. Test some new keywords. Try adding the name of your city, region or country. Perhaps something else that you are already known for. Ultimately, make sure it matches your brand name as closely as possible.

👉 Don’t forget to protect your domain!

Your domain name is an integral part of your brand. Make sure that you handle the email account which was used to register it. Your web designer can help you build the site and recommend website hosting, but your domain is yours to keep.

Oh, and don’t forget to choose your registrar’s auto-renew option, so your domain name doesn’t expire!
