If you want to build a website, the first thing you need to do is to find a suitable domain name. The domain name is also unique. Of course, the suffix of each domain name can be different. If you happen to have a domain name that someone else has applied for, it will be much more difficult to apply for it. Of course money can solve some problems~
Let’s first look at several mainstream platforms where you can purchase domain names:
1. Juming.com: old and expired domain names registration and purchase
2. HiChina (acquired by Alibaba Cloud): New domain name registration, purchase on behalf of others!
3. Western Digital: Domain Name Registration
If we have decided where to get the domain name, we will start preparing for it.
1. Domain name positioning
Before registering a domain name, you need to do a good job of domain name positioning. Simply put, you need to determine what kind of domain name we want to register. In my country, you should try to use pinyin domain names. Secondly, you need to prepare a few more pinyin domain names in case of emergency.
Moreover, before registering a domain name, it is necessary to conduct a detailed inquiry to check whether the domain name we want to register has been registered before. This is because the competition for domain names has been very fierce in recent years, and more than 90% of the better-sounding and smoother domain names have been registered by others.
2. Choose a domain name registrar
When registering a domain name, companies should try to choose some larger domain name registrars. If this is the case, they can recharge in advance. There will be discounts when recharging, which can save the company a lot of expenses.
3. Choose a domain suffix
There are many forms of domain name suffixes, but it is recommended that you try to choose some of the most common suffixes when registering domain names, such as .com or .CN. If you choose some more special suffixes, such as domain names with national characteristics, it is very likely that it will not be able to be registered.
Normally, most users come to our website through search engines or other links, and the first thing they notice is probably our website domain name, rather than the specific URL. When they want to visit our website again next time, they are likely to enter the domain name with the suffix .com. So it is hard to imagine how many potential users we would lose if our website domain name suffix was not .com.
4. Domain name resolution
After successfully registering the domain name, you can bind the space you purchased, and then you can perform domain name resolution. If you choose a larger domestic operator, the implementation speed will be very fast.
5. Renewal
After the domain name registration is completed, it is necessary to renew the domain name registrant every year. If it is not renewed in time, the domain name is likely to be reclaimed, resulting in all previous efforts being wasted.
