Have You Found Your Ideal Domain Registrar?

By Donald Heninger


When it comes to your decision to buy domain name registration, you should be careful to pick a company that has reliable and reputable service. Keep in mind that if you intend to setup a website for business purposes, the domain registrar you choose is critical to its success. You need not have a hard time with this decision though - just make sure you know which key features to consider.

Once you get started with your search for a domain registrar, it would be wise to refer to search engines as they can lay it all out for you and make your decision-making so much easier. There's a good chance that you'll be down to the top 5 registrars and you'll just have to make a little more research. You may also check out online forums to see which ones have good reviews from users.

You may have come across some domain registrars that offer free registration services, but one thing that you should always keep in mind is that you should stay away from them as much as possible. Chances are, you will experience a lot of setbacks with them sooner or later. Since you are investing so much on your online business, are you going to settle for anything less?

If you are want to go deeper with your investigation on finding out the credibility and reliability of a domain registrar before you buy domain name registration, you should look for a company's accreditation with the ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers). Being accredited by the ICANN means a lot and it is a good indication that the company can indeed be trusted.

You should be able to buy domain name registration for a low price of $10 and don't go below that price as much as possible. The validity of domain registration is usually one year, but there are also some companies that offer free registration for the 1st year and payment starts on the second year. No matter how long the registration validity is, make sure you are aware of it and renew it on time.

Any domain registrar that is worth doing business with should ideally have an unwavering customer support. The service of quality registrars does not stop with the registration itself, but all throughout the time that the client is connected with them. Try to observe the type of customer support they offer - be it live chat, technical support hotline, and a quick turnaround for customer inquiries.

You should only do business with domain registrars that have an efficient notification system as this is very important when you are watching out for the expiry date of your registration. There is a chance that you might forget to renew your registration and you don't want everything you worked hard for to go down the drain. Make sure you ask with the registrar about their policies on this matter.

Once you get to buy domain name registration, it is likely that there would be other services offered to you by the registrar as an add-on. Such services might include hosting and email among others. Whether these are offered for a fee or for free, be sure to review the actual services that you are getting with their registration package. Of course you can always get clarifications from the registrar when in doubt.
