Choosing a good Domain Name

A domain name is a license to use a specific name on the Internet for a specific period of time (generally 1-2 years).
An example of a domain name is oceanartwork.com.

A domain name is the text name corresponding to the numeric IP address of a computer on the Internet.

Its easy to get sidetracked and go overboard when choosing a domain name.
Here are a few points that might make it easier for you.

• Make it simple, domain names should be easy to remember, say, and spell.
• Try to use words that describe or name your product in the domain name and busines . e.g If your business is  selling car tyres your ideal domain name would be yoursuburbcartyres.com  (although obvious names are going to be harder to procure.)
• Register your business name with a few different extensions to protect your name and branding in as many popular name spaces as you can.
  For example, oceanartwork.com and oceanartwork.com.au
  For Australian businesses especially, I recommend .au extensions, because this namespace is governed by an Australian regulatory body, auDA.

These are just a few tips you can read a more comprehensive report here from Web guru; Dr. Ralph F. Wilson at Web Marketing Today

It really doesnt matter who you register your domain name through as long as you are the Registrar (owner of the domain name) and you have access to an admin panel where you can change or input the DNS settings.

I recommend registering your new domain name with Bluehost .
Or more specifically getting in on their great deal with Hosting which gives you a domain name for free!!

BlueHost offers dependable hosting with unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Their shared hosting plan includes a free domain name, and their plan offer of just $6.95/month is well above average compared to most web hosts.
You can host unlimited web sites with Bluehost on this plan…
Their support is second to none.

And you can install as many WordPress sites as you want using their great Auto install program called Simple Scripts

I will be posting a more comprehensive review on Bluehost in the next few days
