Registering a Domain Name

Domain names should cost you less than $10 per year.  I use GoDaddy to register my domain names.  It cost $8.95 to register a domain name with them for one year.

When choosing a name, keep it short, easy to spell and on topic to the niche that you are going to be marketing to.  You should always choose a .com name as they seem to be the most memorable by far.

When you register a domain name with GoDaddy, you will be offered a lot of add ons that you don’t need.  The default for registering a name is 2 years and so you will need to change that as you go along.

Here is a short video tutorial going through the process of registering a domain name with GoDaddy.
