Setting up a domain name with a web host is a fairly simple process. However choosing a killer domain name can be difficult. Imagine if Google had been called something different would they still have enjoyed the same success that they did? Having a short memorable domain name is the best option as people will remember your domain name when you advertise.
You need to go to an official site that registers domain names. Look for one that allows cheap domain name registration for under ten dollars. Godaddy is a good example of such a web site.
You need to type in the name of the domain that you would like to register. One important point to remember is that your business name should be your domain name. So for example if you run a used car dealership called Cheap Autos then that would be your domain name. I also suggest that you register the .net and .org versions of your web site. In future if a competitor registers these domain names they can easily use your brand name to build their business. If the name has been taken already then you need to search for another one. If you really are interested in buying the domain name even if it is taken you may contact the owner and negotiate a price for the domain name. This is particularly useful if the domain name that is already taken represents your business name.
You need to complete the final step and complete your registration by paying for it. Usually once you setup your domain name servers to your web host it will take twenty four to seventy two hours to propagate to all the domain name servers on the internet and your domain name will become active.
