DomainName Registration
Naming Your Website

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet?  Not so with domains.  You website name has to be short, simple and striking else people won't remember it.  Problem is, with over 10,000 names a day being registered and over 30 million registered in total, sometimes finding the right domain name can be frustrating.  Sometimes, it can feel like all the good ones are taken.  Don't give up hope, though.  There are still good domain names out there.  Sometimes it just takes a little patience and a little ingenuity to find the right one.  

Here are some tips on naming your website:

  • If you have an unusual business name, you may get off easy in the domain name registration process.  zitechlogic.com, for example, was an easy choice for us.  If your company name is Ace, it might be a bit harder.

  • Keep it as short and catchy as possible, but make sure it's representative of your business.  papago.com might be available and cute, but what the heck does it mean?

  • Although they may look snazzy, keep away from weird spellings.  It's hard for people to remember to add an extra z and an f instead of a ph in something like:  acezfotoshop.com

  • Hyphenated versions of your name are sometimes available, but in general it is best to avoid them.  After all, if someone owns acesphoto.com and you own aces-photo.com, what site do you think your customer will end up at when he forgets to put the hyphen in your website address?  

  • The same thing goes for .net and other such extensions.  If you register for acesphoto.net and someone has acesphoto.com, chances are acesphoto.com will get a lot of business intended for your site.  In general, avoid extensions that aren't .com unless you already own the .com address.

To check availability for your domain name, follow these instructions:

  1. Click on the following link:  Domain Name Registration and Availability

  2. Enter the domain name for which you would like to check availability in the blue and gray box on the left side of the page.

  3. If the name is available, you may click on "Click Here to Register" and follow the online registration process.  Once you have registered your name, you will own that name for the period of time you have chosen.  No one else will be able to use or register this name.  

  4. If the name is not available, you may continue to check availability of other possible names.  Enter the new name in the blue box at the bottom of the page and click on "Check Availability."

  • Important:  It is VERY important that you remember the contact information you enter when registering a domain name, especially the email address.  This email address will be where ICANN will send your renewal information.  If you miss this email your domain name will be thrown back out into the available domain name population when it expires.  Someone else will then be able to register it!
