A domain name is what people use to display your site in a browser.

Domain names should be short and say something about your site.

A single noun or verb make great domain names: Apple.com or Yahoo.com.

Company names work well: Chrysler.com or Intel.com.

Short phrases are good: FixMyPages.com or MakeItHappen.com

You can check the availability of a domain name at WhoIS (opens new window).

Your domain name must be registered with an ICANN registrar.

It pays to shop around for prices and services. GoDaddy is a very reputable and low cost registrar.
