The first step to having a website is registering a domain name. The best case scenario is to have a target audience in mind and have the keywords in the domain name. Search engines are scanning domain names and keywords in the body of your homepage for relevance and weight. To gain the upper hand, it is best to have one or two of your keywords in the domain name of your website. If you have a keyword or two in your domain name it's helpful but not critical to success.
Once you have a short list of possible names you'll need to search availability through a reputable company such as Go Daddy. You can search based on many different extensions, however, we recommend finding a '.com' for your website. Sites ending in .org or .net aren't going to generate the same traffic that a .com does. If the .com you want is taken, try variations until you find one that is available. There is also the option of waiting until the domain name you want becomes available but that will be contingent on the current owner letting the subscription lapse - it could be a long wait.
Avoid using easily misspelled words in your domain name. Also try not to have a domain name be too long. If the domain name you want is taken, consider adding a location, such as [your city or state]. It is generally not a good idea to have multiple underscores or dashes in your domain name. One of either at the most. The easier your domain name is to remember, the better.
After you have found and registered your domain name, contact Porch Puppy Online for affordable and professional website design.
