Change Of Domain Name

Once domain name is booked, it cannot be changed for entire year. Either you have to wait till next renewal and choose the required domain leaving the current domain or you can buy another domain along with your booked domain.

Therefore while booking your domain name you have to be careful in choosing the name which suits your business aptly and at the same time can be optimized easily.

Tips for choosing the right domain name -

• Your Domain Name Should Be Your Website Name - Naming a site after its domain name is important, for the simple reason that when people think of your website, they'll think of it by name. If your name is also your URL, they'll automatically know where to go. For example, when people think of bizmax.in, they don't have to wonder what URL to type into their browser to get there. The name of the site is also the URL.
• Generic Names Or Brand Name Domains - A number of people seem to think that your domain name really must be some generic name like "cars.com" if you are selling cars. Witness, for example, how much money those generic names are being sold for. But seriously, if you were looking for a car, you'll probably already have some brands in mind, and you're more like to try out things like generalmotors.com or toyota.com rather than just cars.com. For that reason, domain name that matches your brand name is very important. The very name that you use to advertise your product is the name that you will want for your domain, because that is the first thing that people will try in their browser. It is also the easiest thing for them to remember, and whatever that is easily remembered, will be more likely to be tried out than the obscure domain name.
• Long or Short Domain Names - If you manage to get a short domain name though, make sure it's a meaningful combination of characters such "getit.com".If you consider domain names like "gaepw.com" is a sequence of unrelated letters that is difficult to remember and type correctly, whereas if we expand it to its long form, "GetAnEconomicallyPricedWebsite.com", we are more likely to remember the domain name. Long domain names that have your site keywords in them also have an advantage in that they fare better in a number of search engines. The latter give preference to keywords that are also found in your domain names. So, for example, if you have a site on free C++ compilers with a domain name like freecpluspluscompilers.com, it might fare better in a search.
• Choosing the Top Level Domains(TLDs) - It is common thought to have domain name in ".com" TLD as it is the most popular TLD. But if you dont get the domain name in .com, no need to fret about it. You choose other TLDs which suits your business such as ".in" if your business reach is within india, ".org" if your business is an organization, ".info" if yours is an information oriented business, ".net " if yours is a network oriented business etc.
