    Hi there,
    The Internet has become such a normal part of everyone’s lives these days. There is rarely anyone that can function normally without using the Internet. That’s because the Internet provides everyone several advantages.
    You now understand how important it is for a business to be able to establish a presence in the Internet. When you have your own domain names, you will be able to do that. However, the process of domain registration is not as easy as it is described. Here are some problems you might come across when you try to find a domain name for your business:
    You will certainly find duplicates when you are trying to find a URL. Domain names should be related to your business. Since you have a lot of competition, it is not uncommon for you to find duplicates when you are in the middle of your domain registration tasks. The best way to make sure you don’t find any duplicates is to find a domain name forum and talk with everyone there about existing domain names.

    You're so right about finding a good domain... that's why we see a new wave .ws, .me... etc. Choosing .ws or .me gives people the opportunity to snatch a domain name that would've otherwise been unavailable.

    Some domain name extensions are overloaded. So if you need to find good domain name you need to check various domain name extensions as well.

    There's already over half a million .co domains, so the quicker the better!

    - Try and avoid registering a duplicate in another TLD if the already existing domain might be confused with your own brand.
    - Make sure it's easy to say out loud if you need to spread the word over the phone etc.
    - Read up on new and emerging terms, it's likely to give you tips on new names to register.
