How To Choose The Right Domain Name

The main purpose of a domain name is to provide symbolic representations, i.e., recognizable names, to mostly numerically addressed Internet resources. This abstraction allows any resource (e.g., website) to be moved to a different physical location in the address topology of the network, globally or locally in an intranet, in effect changing the IP address. This translation from domain names to IP addresses (and vice versa) is accomplished with the global facilities of Domain Name Systems. (DNS). The Internet Corporation for Assigned names and numbers has the overall responsibilities for managing DNS. By allowing the use of unique alphabetical addresses instead of numeric ones, domain names allow Internet users to more easily find and communicate with web sites and any other IP-based communications services. The flexibility of the domain name system allows multiple IP addresses to be assigned to a single domain name, or multiple domain names to be services from a single IP address.

How to find if a domain name is available?

All of the authorized domain name registrars allow the public to conduct free domain name searches. You have to do is enter the domain name you want into a form on the registrar’s Web page — if the name is taken, the form will list the current owner’s name and contact information. If the name is still available, you can fill out another online form to register the name yourself.

How to buy a Domain name owned by someone else?

Buy Direct
Visit the URL in question. If you end up with a “parked” Web page or no page at all, means that the domain could be up for sale. Contact the owner to see how much they are asking for the domain?

Enter the Open Market
There are companies that purchase domain names in bulk and resell them, or act as brokers to match sellers with buyers.

Wait
Another option you have is to wait for the domain name to expire, in hopes that the current owner won’t renew it. There are several companies that offer wait list services where you can pay a fee, normally $60, to be the first in line to register the domain as soon as it becomes available again.
