How much is an existing domain name worth?

How to choose and own a good domain name?

A good domain name makes a lasting impression. When you buy your website domain name, it helps establish your business credibility. Moreover, if your company/brand name is reflected in the domain name, it not only improves your search engine rankings but also lets your customers know what you’re all about.

To choose a good domain name, start by doing a domain registration check. Here are some pointers to choose a good domain name:

 Use keywords in your domain name
 Keep it unique and brandable
 Keep it short and simple and easy to pronounce and spell
 Use a domain name generator
 Avoid hyphens in your domain name
 Avoid doubled letters
 Act quickly before someone else takes it

How to find out the owner of a registered domain name?

Use the WHOIS domain lookup to look for information about a domain. It will show you a listing that contains information about who owns the domain name (domain registrant), including his or her name, contacts, location, expiration date and more.

** If you are concerned about your personal information appearing in the WHOIS directory, you can use Domain Privacy to hide your information. If you need more guidance, contact us for more info.

Do I get a website when I buy a domain name?

No. Your domain name is your website’s unique address. You’ll have to connect it with a website by getting a Web Hosting plan and installing a content management system (CMS) to build your site.

What should I do if a domain is unavailable?

An unavailable unique domain means a registrant already owns it. However, you can still register under other top-level domains (TLDs) as follows:

  .com
  .biz
  .info
  .name
  .net
  .sg
  .uk
  .au
  .jp
  .my

If that doesn’t work for you, backorder to acquire the domain once it becomes available.

Can I reserve a domain name?

The only way you can reserve a domain is to register it under your name right away.

Can I host my registered domain name anywhere?

Yes, you can host your registered domain name with any web hosting provider.

Can I transfer my registered domain name to another registrar?

Yes, domain names can be moved from one domain registrar to another. Normally, you wouldn’t need to transfer your domain name right away, but if you’re unhappy with your domain registrar, then this option should be easily available.

The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you cannot transfer a domain name during the first 60 days of the registration. This initial period is decided by ICANN. After that, you are allowed to move it to any other registrar that you want.

Most domain registrars make it easy to transfer domain names without any extra fee. However, some may try to make it complicated or charge an extra fee to remove domain lock. Make sure that you review the domain transfer policy before you buy a domain name from a registrar.

Domain Expiration

Domain names are registered for a specific duration. You can renew your domain registration before its expiration date. However, if you forgot to renew your domain name, then it expires and anyone can register it. For businesses, this means someone can take over their domain name. To make sure that this doesn’t happen, you can set up auto-renewals for your domain name.

Even if you use the automatic renewal feature, it is a good idea to check your domain registrars expiration policy. Some domain registrars offer a grace period even after the expiration. This grace period allows you to renew your expired domain name. Whereas bad domain registration services will immediately auction your expired domain to the highest bidder.

We have heard dozens of horror stories of business owners losing their domain name because their credit card expired, and their registrar did not have a grace period. This is one of the many reasons why it’s extremely important to choose the right domain name registrar.
