How to buy a domain: in this article
What is a domain
The domain is nothing more than the address of your website: www.ilmiosito.it
The domain is unique, that is, there will be no sites with the same address as yours and you will not be able to choose a domain identical to one that already exists.
The domain consists of a name and an extension. For example
- easytravelhosting is our name
- .com is our extension.
Which domain to choose - useful tips
Often we start off with a name that we have chosen some time ago, but without asking ourselves questions about how important the name to give to your site really is.
Actually the name can determine whether or not a site is successful, facilitating or hindering both the influx and return of users.
Below we list the fundamental points to keep in mind when choosing your domain:
- Do you already have an Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube account with a decent number of subscribers? Keep the same name.
- The name must be easy to remember.
- The name must be short.
- Better to avoid foreign words unless strictly necessary.
- Do not place identical letters one after the other.
- Choose a name that represents your niche
But that does not prevent a possible expansion. - The name must be original.
There are also many types of extensions, some with funny names, like .pizza.
Keep in mind that the more extravagant you are with your domain choice, the less likely people will be to make typos.
We therefore recommend using the most common extensions such as .com or .it for your domain.
How to buy a domain
1.
Enter the domain name you want to purchase, with or without extension, and press the blue button "Research”.
If the domain is available, a green congratulatory message will appear, along with options for alternative extensions.
As mentioned above, choose a common extension and add your domain to the cart.
2.
On the next page “Domain Configuration” leaves everything unchanged, unless you already know you want to use custom Nameservers.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, press “Continues”.
If you choose a .it extension, you will have to enter the type of legal entity (if you are an individual you can leave the default option) and enter the tax code or VAT number.
NB: in this section you also have the opportunity to purchase a hosting plan. Hosting and a domain are the two fundamental prerequisites for opening a website. Therefore, if you also need a hosting plan, click on the red writing "Click to order".
3.
On the summary page "Check and Pay"you have the opportunity to check that the domain you have chosen has no typos and is exactly what you want. Press the green "Checkout" button to proceed to the final purchase phase.
4.
On the page "Earnings” you can register your details via Facebook or enter them manually, and decide whether to pay via credit/debit card or PayPal.
Once you have finished entering your data, press the blue button "Complete the order” and please, click only once!
