Dot what?
There are many different extensions available right now. If you are a business, we recommend a .com suffix. It is the first extension that most people try when searching for a site. If .com is not available, our registration order form will provide you with alternative extensions to your original choice.

Avoid Trademarked Names
There are two really good reasons for this. We have all heard the stories about the guy who thought ahead and bought "multi-million-dollar-company.com" and sold it to the company for enough money to retire on. But, remember that those companies have spent time and money creating their brand, and it would really be unfortunate if the tables were turned. The second reason to avoid trademarked names is that companies are no longer opening their pocketbooks to get their names back. They are calling their lawyers. Also, pending legislation will soon make it very difficult to register someone else's trademarked name.

One may not be Enough
Sometimes, it isn't a bad idea to register several similar domain names. If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.net" so no one else takes it. You can register your full company name and a shorter, easier to remember version. Some people even register common misspellings of their company's name.

Character types
Just a reminder. Domain names can only use letters, numbers, and hyphens ("-"). Spaces and other symbols are not allowed, and they cannot begin or end with a hyphen. Domain names are not case sensitive and cannot exceed 63 total characters.
