The first thing your site will need is a name. That’s easier said than done these days. All the best words in the dictionary have either already been bought and built by developers or they’ve been bought and offered by speculators. But that doesn’t mean you can’t create a good name and buy it for a song. Putting two words together with a hyphen can work (like http://www.AdSense-tools.com) and there are plenty of good names available if you’re prepared to move outside the world of .coms into
.net and
.biz etc.
Your first stop should be to register a domain name and order a hosting plan. One of my favorite sites to do this is Globat. They frequently offer excellent specials, such as free or reduced hosting for a year. Click here to see their latest offer.
Another stop is Network Solutions. This is a nuts and bolts service that lets you hunt and buy names, order hosting plans and even submit your site to the search engines. When you’re looking for a name, you can just toss in ten options and the site will tell you which (if any) are available. All in, buying a name from one of these service won’t cost you more than about $20 a year.
If you can’t find a name you like and that hasn’t already been grabbed though, you can take a look at sites like moderndomains.com and bestnames.net. These are companies that buy domain names and sell them for a profit. There’s a good chance you’ll find some good names here but they can cost you anything from $50 to $50,000. Before you part with a penny, think about the advantage that a good name can bring and ask yourself if you can’t get the extra traffic a cheaper way. Often, you can. And remember, twelve years ago no one knew what a Yahoo, ebay or Google was!
