A domain name is like a doorway to a home; it is the entrance to your website. When you go to the internet and type in a domain name, you are telling the internet what server and web hosting you want to access. For example, when you visited this site, you typed in the domain name; www.hostjacksonville.com, which told the internet that you wanted to access this website.

What Domain Names Do I Want?

Choosing a domain name for your web hosting package is a very important part of having a website. Domain names tell people immediately what your website is all about, it is one of the first thing a search engine may notice, and it should represent the name of your website. For example, the name of this website is Hosting HostJacksonville, which is why the domain name is www.hostjacksonville.com and not something else. You immediately know what the website is about, it represents the name, and it tells the search engines that this site offers web hosting.

Domain names can be as long as sixty seven characters and can include the letters a through z, the numbers 0 through 9, and they hyphen. We find it to be more important to have domain names that truly represents what we spoke about earlier, rather than to just have short domain names. It is, however, important that if you have longer domain names, they are domain names that can be easily remembered.

You should also choose domain name that are focused. For example, if you are selling Sony televisions, you wouldn't really want the domain name www.televisions.com. You would want something more like wwwSonyTelevisionSales.com. The more focused domain names are, the more focused your visitors will be, which will result in visitors spending more time on your website because it is truly what they are looking for.

Are you unsure of what extention to use with your new domain names? There are many choices available now, the most popular being .COM, .NET, .ORG, and .INFO. The easy answer to this is to choose a domain name extention based on what your website is about. If the domain name is for a non-profit organization, you may want to choose .ORG. If your domain name represents a business opportunity, you may use .BIZ. Personally, we feel the .COM is the best choice for domain name. However, we also recommend getting several extentions so that someone else doesn't try to steal or capitalize on your ideas.

If you're having a hard time finding the right domain names for your web hosting package because they are already taken, here are a few suggestions. Try using words like "the", "your", and "my". Additionally, you can try using words in the plural when choosing domain names. Finally, we have a special feature on our website that offers you a multitude of suggestions for domain names when the domain name you have requested is not available.
