Some important points for a domain booking and hosting

When an organization plans to have its own corporate website, generally their mind first wanders to how will the site look like, what graphics would be used, the navigation etc. But what people forget to answer to themselves is the first fundamental question.

Do I have a domain name and a place to host my site? This is the primary aspect of creating the website and rest follows suit. The answer to these questions would mean looking for a domain registrar, hosting package etc.

Some important points for a domain booking and hosting include:

Make sure you check the availability of your brand name before committing yourself to it.

An easy to remember domain name and one which is less prone to spelling mistakes should be looked for. A Domain name which contains the business product name / service name or keywords can be of added advantage from search engine optimization point of view.

Even if building a website is not on your priority list right now, it would be wise enough to book a domain now because the preferred name may not be available for registration by the time you decide to build a website.

Avoid using dashes in your domain name. (e.g. abccorp.com versus abc-corp.com).

A country code top level domain (ccTLD) may be used to attract local business in your own country. Something like co.in may be great for capturing the local market in India.

The web hosting package that you plan to take for hosting the website should be comprehensive enough to suit all your requirements.

Your web technology and architecture will decide the hosting package you must get for yourself. The content, the expected traffic and commercial considerations will help you decide the hosting space and server you require.

Initially, for a new business it is always good to start with shared hosting rather than a dedicated one since you would not know what kind and amount of traffic your website will encounter.

If you have the right kind of money to finance the infrastructure or unless you are sure about what you're doing hosting your own website may not be the best or most economical idea.
