Where To Buy Your Domain Name

Do you need a domain name for your business? Here are just
a few ways of purchasing one.

1. Think Up and Register Your Own Original Domain Name

Think up your own original name and register it at a domain
name registrar. Although this seems obvious, many people
feel that all the good domain names are already taken.

It is true that it won't be easy to come up with a suitable
name that has not already been registered. However, with
some careful thought, you may come up with your own original
domain name.

For example, I once was going to buy a certain domain name
but someone else beat me to it. Upon reflection, I came up
with a comparable (if not better) domain name myself and
simply registered it.

2. Buy Already Expired Domain Names

Sometimes you can find the domain name you want from a list
of already expired domain names. (I did!)

Visit whois.net (or a similar site) to "Search through
deleted domains" by keyword.

This way you pay no commission (just the nominal domain
name registration fee) as you are simply registering a
"new" domain name.

3. Buy Domain Names on eBay

Another source of domain names is eBay. Look under both of
these categories:

• Computers & Networking: Other Hardware & Services: Domain Names; and
• Business & Industrial: Websites & Businesses For Sale: Internet Businesses, Websites.

4. Approach the Domain Name Registrant

Perhaps the name you want has already been registered by
someone else. Why not approach the domain name owner and
make an offer? The owner's contact information may be
available on their website or from the domain name
registrar.

5. Search the Internet

Visit domain name brokers, for sale and classified sites,
forums, newsgroups, expiring domain names websites, search
engines, auction sites, and other websites to find your
domain name.

These, then, are just a few suggestions on where to buy
your domain names.
