HOT! TIP: Currently, 90% of domain names registered are not being used, so it’s no wonder over 23,000 expire daily — ready to be picked up by anyone.
TIP: Registering as a “.com” is usually the best.
Predicted to remain “King”. and increase in value as more extensions are added by I-CANN.
TIP:
Register .net and .org. If “.com” is taken then consider using “.net” or “.org”.
Net is gaining in popularity as a great choice after .com. If you really want to secure your domain name then register it as all three and ward off potential competition. Note of caution on registering .org: Possible new regulations may require .org registrants to adhere to the “Non-profit only” status.
TIP: Register your business name.

TIP: Be creative.
Adding “e” or “i” in front of a name is very popular. So is adding “web” or “net” in front or at the end of a name. Combine short, meaningful, catchy phrases or words that describe your business or site. You can also use numbers and a dash (-) in domain names. Domain names cannot begin or end with a dash. Use dashes inside the name – search engines are reported to like this.
TIP:
Remember – as more and more businesses and individuals go on-line, the number of good names goes down and down.
TIP:
Domain names can be an investment.
We’ve all heard of the domain names that sell for millions and millions of dollars. Certainly all names won’t increase in value that much, but what could your names be worth in the next few years?
TIP:
Search for good domain names.
All the good names aren’t taken. It’s been reported also that over 20% of the domain names registered in previous years went without renewal! Thousands of previously registered names become available every day. Be persistent. Check out Domains for Sale listings and auctions for super buys on domains.
