Domain Registration
|
Registering a domain could not be more straightforward; the difficult part is finding an appropriate available domain name as most of the prime names have already been
taken. You therefore may have to be quite creative when searching and deciding on your domain name.
We named one of our ventures Pakatak, we did so because when we first searched the word Pakatak there where no entries on any of the search engines. We realised that this would give us an indication of our growth and progress by simply searching our own company name. Furthermore, as it was a made-up word we had no issues securing the domain names.
If you are unable to find a relevant domain name for your venture, look at the expired / expiring domain listings. Literally thousands of domains, that have been allowed to expire by their owners, become available everyday. These domains have been allowed to expire for several different reasons:
The owner has tried, failed and lost interest in their internet venture.
The owner has forgotten to reregister their domain.
Good sites to check for lists of expired and expiring domains are:
