    8 Tips for Choosing a Domain Name - Your domain name...


    (Page 2 of 3 )

    6) Be Descriptive. Your domain name should have something to do with your business. Make it descriptive of your site, your product offerings, or your service.

    7) Search for Deleted Domain Names. Domain names that were once registered but have expired turn up every day. With some research you might be able to find one of these names that would be a good fit for your business. You can search for deleted domains at http://www.deleteddomains.com

    8) Check for Trademarks. You should do this before registering your domain name. Search as many existing trademarks as possible and look for possible conflicts. Obviously you want to choose a name that is unlikely to cause you any legal problems. Trademark research can be done at the following sites:

    U.S Patent and Trademark Office - http://www.uspto.gov

    Thomas Register - http://www.thomasregister.com

    The Trademark Association - http://www.inta.org

    Nameprotect - http://www.nameprotect.com

    If you need help with researching your domain names try the following websites:

    2) GoDaddy - http://www.godaddy.com
