Which domain registrar to buy my domain name?
If you are setting up a make money online review blog or any other blog for that matter to make money on the internet, you will need to register a domain name.
Well, you’ve finally decided on a domain name that you want and which is available for registering. It’s time to look for a cheap but reliable domain name registry to buy your domain name to ensure that your domain name is safely kept.
You will come across some web hosting companies that offer free domain names when you sign up for a web hosting plan. Do not be tempted by the free offer. You may run into problems in future when you want to change registry and end up losing your domain and the traffic which you’ve spent so much time and effort to build up.
As a rule, keep your domain name registry separate from your web host. This is to ensure that in the event you want to change either company, you will not be held hostage by both your domain and website. In other words, don’t keep all your eggs in one basket.
Top level domains such as .coms cost from about US$8 – US$15 per year. If you have more than 10 names to register, you would consider a bulk registry like eNom or Moniker. Buying in bulk would lower prices to around US$7.
If you have just 1 or 2 names, then consider Dynadot or DirectNic. These registries have good reputations and customer support, and offer useful features.
Once you have registered your domain name, you can look for a reliable web host.
