If you already know which script you would like to purchase to start your business, there are a couple of things you will need to have set in place first.
1. Your Domain
2. A Hosting Provider
When choosing your domain, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
- Keep it Short & Creative
Your domain name should be easy to pronounce, spell and remember. If too many words are in your domain name, it could be very hard to remember and worse yet, if a competitor has a similar domain, they could wind up there instead! It’s best to stay creative by combining words, creating completely new words or blending two words together. This will make your domain brandable. Once customers are exposed to your site or name, they will be more likely to remember it. - .com
This is the most popular top-level domain. Although it may be hard to find one that is available, do not opt for .net, .info, etc unless you are out of the country. In that case, you can use domain names ending in co.uk or similar. - Searchable Terms
If you are concerned about search engines naturally picking up your site and plan onto rely heavily on keywords, try to use phrases and words that are searched within your industry. What information are your customers searching for? What word could you incorporate into your domain name? This is not guaranteed to produce instant success, but based upon your keywords, marketing, niche and competitors, it may play a role in increasing your search engine ranking.
After choosing your domain, you should select a hosting provider and plan. Our scripts work well with a variety of companies and hosting packages.
