·         What Is A Domain Name?
A domain name is a unique name that identifies a place on the Internet. An example of a domain name is mybusiness.com. Domain names can be used as part of a website address, such as www.YourBusiness.com, or they can form part of an email address, such as sales@YourBusiness.com. Domain names allow you to use descriptive words so it's easy for people to remember your website or your email address.

·         Searching for a Domain Name
In order to register a domain name no one else can have that exact name already registered. You must search for a domain name first to find out if it is registered. If it's already registered to someone else, you cannot register it for yourself.

·         Domain Name Guidelines
A domain name can be up to 26 characters long, including the suffix .COM, .NET, or .ORG. Therefore, the actual "name" portion can be up to 22 characters long. You can use numbers, letters, and hyphens in your domain name, but you can cannot start or end the name with a hyphen. Special characters like the underscore ( _ ), the exclamation mark ( ! ), or the at sign ( @ ) are not permitted. Domain names cannot contain spaces. Domain names are not case sensitive, so you can write them as "YourBusiness.com" or "yourbusiness.com."

·         Some services are now offering domain names that can be up to 67 characters long or have extensions other than .com, .net, or .org; however, not all browsing and search engine software can handle these new features. Hodoorgan Hosting suggests you stick to the basic 26-character name and standard extensions, if possible.

·         Did You Know .....
Once information is entered into the Global Registry of Domain Names, it can take many days to make changes to the record on file? If you're not familiar with domain name registration forms, it's easy to make mistakes when registering your domain name ... mistakes that will result in a tedious and time-consuming process of filling out and submitting various file modification forms in order to use your Domain Name. And remember ... time is money!

Don't underestimate the need for multiple domain names

Chances are it's happened to you at least once within the last year or so. You're browsing the Internet when you inadvertently enter the wrong address, maybe you entered .com instead of .org, and find yourself at the wrong site. And often you'll find that the site that you've accidentally reached is an adult site. While this is no major deal (although maybe a little embarrassing), it can be a major deal to a client that wants to make sure that their customers easily find their site without blushing. To keep this from happening, you should always consider possible misspellings and variations of the domain when registering it. For example, if the registered domain is www.tricity.com, you should also consider registering www.tricity.org, www.trycity.com, www.trycity.org, www.tri-city.com, www.tri-city.org, www.tricities.com and www.tricities.org. If you don't, one of the client's competitors might.

It's no coincidence that Hodoorgan Hosting offers this as an option when registering a site. Once you've registered the extra top-level domains (or extensions, as they're commonly referred to), we can then forward each of the domains to the actual site.

Once your web site is designed, the resulting html files need a place to reside in cyberspace so that the public can view them. Prices vary greatly from service to service, but Hodoorgan Design has searched the web to find the fastest and most reliable hosting servers at the most reasonable price.

And there are no hidden setup fees with this package ... account setup is FREE.
