Domain name can end with .com .net .org .biz .(country) like .ca .us .jp .fr etc... that is up to you to choose and also what is available. You might also come across domain names that are taken but not used. This means that someone bought the name but is not using it and is willing to sell it to anyone for a price. Some hosting services offer in their deal to register you for free or with a small fee. So it is a good idea to read about your hosting provider before you go on and register your domain name. But still if you already have your domain name and join a hosting service, you can import your domain name to your account.
You will need to determine the top level domain name you will wish to use with your site, such as .com, .net and .org. It is important to pick a top level domain that goes hand in hand with your websites content. If your website offers purely information, you may opt for a .info name, or if it is purely commercial you may opt for a .com name.
- Choose a name that is brandable
- Choose a name that is easy to remember
