Domain Names

Buy a domain name and the world is your oyster. Domains are more than just addresses for your websites, they're also your online brand, which is why choosing the right one is so important. You want something that's unique, but still easy to remember. Thankfully, with dozens of Top-Level Domains to choose from, your options are virtually limitless. Your first task is to choose which extension you want (.COM, .NET, .CO) and register your domain name.

The Top-Level Domain .COM is the most popular domain name extension in the world. It's the natural first choice when you're launching your own online presence, but it's far from the only option. Charities and other non-profits tend to choose .ORG for their domain name registration. While it's not as well known as .COM, .ORG is short for "Organization" and it's developed a reputation for being trustworthy.

Another option for those looking to buy domain names is country-code TLDs. Some of these are obvious, such as .US for the United States or .CO.UK for the United Kingdom, while others have found a niche market of their own. .ME is the official domain extension for the island of Montenegro, but thanks to its memorable abbreviation, it's becoming popular with personal sites across the web. And of course, there are domain extensions that were created for specific purposes, such as .BIZ for business, .MOBI for mobile and .JOBS for employment information.

Now that we've looked at just a few of the options available, it's time to think about where you want to register your domain com.
