Hello friends, today we are going to know how to register new domain name. Whenever we think of starting an online business or blog, we need a domain name first.
This domain name is in reality a digital identity of your business or blog. Just as we need a name, the same way a website needs a domain.
Domain Name Registration means buying a new domain name. You should know about the domain before purchasing a domain name. How to find the domain and which extension to take.
What is a domain name?
As we know domain name is made up of two parts. Let’s look at digitalgabbar.com or digitalgabbar.in as an example.
In both these domains, “digitalgabbar” is our name and “.in /.com” domain. .in or .com is called domain extension which we can choose according to our wish.
Here .in means India and .com means commercial.
If you see the domain name word wise, then it happens
Domain + Name
That is, it has one domain and one name. Now domain or extension are like this .com, .org, .in, .net etc. and name which you think according to yourself. Like we have installed digitalgabbar.
Any domain and name are seperate by full stop (.).
How to choose a domain name?
Whenever you book your domain name try to make sure that it always matches your niche. If you are not able to choose your niche or have any problem, then you can read our eBook “How to Choose Your Bestselling Niche”.
So let’s talk about how to choose the domain name of your niche.
When you enter the digital world, you need an identity, as in ordinary life, your name is your identity. Like that, the domain name is the name of your blog, with which you are known in the digital world. The domain is always in two parts, separated by a dot, the word before the dot is the name of your brand or niche and the dot is followed by a value extension. Extensions vary from country to country. Such as: .com, .in, .net, .us etc.
The first part of the dot can match your brand name or niche. Like I wanted to make content hub of digital marketing, so I kept my domain name digitalgabbar. In this, “digital” word represented digital marketing and the name of “gabbar” added weight to the domain. You can choose the extension based on your usage. If you have to create a blog by targeting a country, then you can take domain extension for that country. Such as: .in for India, .uk for United States
If you are not starting a blog by targeting a country, then I would advise you to take .com.
Now, if you want to choose the domain of your micro niche with Indian dish, then let’s see how we will choose.
Below I am giving some points which you have to keep in mind while writing the word that comes before the dot.
- Keep the words as short as possible.
- Try to enter your keywords.
- Do not use numbers or hyphens.
- Choose a word that people will remember
- If you are targeting a place, try to insert the name.
You must first note some words before the dot such as:
Indianfooding, indiandish, freshdishindia, cookingtips, indiandishblog, yummidish etc.
As much as you can, write the words and check with your extension one by one. Make a list of domains which are not booked and then finalize one of them.
I hope you found your domain after working so hard.
Before buying your domain name, you can use Domain Name Suggestion Tools. This tool helps you to a great extent in Name Suggestion.

These three tools will help you a lot in choosing the domain name.
