Divas, I bought a new business yesterday, http://www.divasdomains.com. Divas Domains was created so that you can purchase domains at a discount.  On your journey to building your online e-business, I want to help you keep your start-up as cost low as possible.

One of the main necessities when building an e-commerce business is that you will need to choose a “good” domain name. You can now go to http://www.divasdomains.com to buy your cheap domain,aka URL. Well, actually, you can not buy a domain. You can register one at http://www.divasdomains.com for a period of 1,2,5 years. When you register your name that means that you are the owner of the domain for a certain period of time. Once the registration peroid is up,you have to register the name if you still want to remain the owner.

Here are some tips for choosing a good domain name that will bring traffic “customers” to your website:

1. Choose a domain that has the keyword people are searching. This takes the guess work out of finding you and tells people, upfront, what you do. The search engines will easily find you and your clients too. For example,  if you are selling internet marketing information, products and services, you may want to use the domain name,www.internet-marketingdiva.com. This title suggest that this is an internet marketing business for women.
2. Make sure the title is short, catchy and easy to remember.  People have a short attention span and remember simple, unique names, like yahoo and google. Do not use your name. No one knows who your are and popular names will not rank well in search engines, such as Jane L. Smith.  It is okay, if you are Oprah.
3. When you think of your domain name, buy it right away.  Someone else maybe thinking of the name and buy it for their own online e-business or buy it to sell. Some internet marketing gurus believe that when you go to search for a domain name,someone my hack the system and buy the domain with the hopes of selling it to you at a higher price.  I do not know if that is true, but it has happened to me. So, learn from my mistake and buy it right away. Domains are very cheap. Buy when you search for it at www.divasdomains.com.
4. When you buying the domain, in order to have a monoply on it, you should choose various versions of it, if you do not want someone copying you. Your first choice should be a dot.com name. Most people are familiar with dot.coms.  Hyphen are okay. Search engine easily pick them up. For example, I purchased internet-marketingdiva.com with the hypen because internet marketing Diva.com was already taken but I had to choice a URL that had a dot.com. You can choose ,..org,..biz,..net,..info. etc.. You should choose a dot.com and a hyphenated version of the same name. For example, www. speakeasy.com and www.speak-easy.com.

This information will help you choose the best domain name for you. Choosing a Domain name at www.divasdomains.com is real easy and inexpensive. If your new years resolution was to start a low-cost e-commerce business, you should start your investment dreams by purchasing your new business name at www.divasdomains.com now-it’s cheaper than go-daddy!
