You've just gotten a new website hosting account. You're excited to begin your journey onto the web. You're a novice to all this "web stuff", but you're confident and brimming with enthusiasm.

What's in a name? In a word: Everything! Choosing an appropriate domain name for your web site is one of the first and most critical decisions you'll have to make on the road to Internet success. What Makes A Great Domain Name? Is it punchy, sticks in the mind, is short and fits your product/service? Does it begin with a letter closer to the beginning of the alphabet, instead of towards the end? If so, and it's not taken, you may have a winner! However, with more than 60,000 new domain names being registered each month, many of the short, memorable, two-word names have already been snapped up. But don't despair: there are other ways to win at the domain game. Expired or 'On-Hold' Domain Names Every day, domain names come up for renewal. And every day, the owners let them slip away. Why? Either they've gone out of business, or simply forget to renew. You can use free web site to monitor these domains, and you may get lucky. As a bonus, your new name may come with built-in traffic! I've successfully used lists posted on the following two sites: http://deleteddomains.com http://www.dailyexpireddomains.com. Once you log on, you'll notice that some names are available immediately, while some are 'on hold.' Technically, once expired, all names are available. However those that have expired within the past 45 to 60 days are in a grace period. Prior owners are given the chance to make good on their debt. If they don't, and the grace period expires, the name is 'deleted' from the master domain registry. It is then available for purchase by others. The date of expiration is posted. If your dream name is 'on hold,' you'll need to pay close attention to the lists. When the one you want is finally free, buy it quick. Expired domain names can be purchased at any domain registration site. The Great Suffix Debate As more and more people come online, and the stronger names are taken off the market, there will be more 'suffixes' added to expand registration options. Currently, the following endings are available: .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .ws, and .us. With more to come. If at all possible, choose a domain name ending in .com ('dot-com'). This is still the most widely recognized ending, and the most popular. When typing in a domain name, people will still, by default, try .com first. The next popular ending after .com is .net -- but always try for a .com name, if at all possible.
