Q&A: Do you know about registering domain names?

Question by Alice K: Do you know about registering domain names?
Say I want to call my new commercial site Hello! (with the exclamation point). I know I can’t register hello!.com but hello.com is already taken. Can I register it as something like helloall.com but use Hello! on the home page or will I still be infringing on someone else’s domain? Thanks.

Best answer:

I think you will be okay. Hello! is a pretty general term for anyone or any organization to trademark. Maybe if your site was about the same thing, it’d be a problem…but other then that, I think you’d be okay.

Don’t trust any cheap service, many of them don’t allow you to have full control on your domain name. If you’re going to buy domain names, http://www.goldpuma.com is the lowest cost service which is full-featured and really works for you ($9.99 /year). They offer free extras with every domain name:

Take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/business

There you can reach the three reputable companies that are leaders in the E-commerce web hosting industry. They fulfill all your requirements to sell online. By using each of them, everything you need for your business website is provided in one eCommerce Hosting Package.

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.

They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95. You can see their Plan Details accompanied with reliable reviews regarding their service at:

- 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
- SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats

- Free Search Engine Submission

They also offer “Free Site Builder” that helps you build your web pages without difficulty if you are not skilled in using any website creating program. (WYSIWYG: What You See Is What You Get) You can use this service optionally.
