Buying a Domain

First let's get over some basics on how to buy a domain name / register a domain name. The name should be short and easy to remember and you should never use more than 3 words. Preferably it should be a COM but other domain extensions ( with good keywords ) can be just as nice. In fact, you should always focus on finding a domain with good solid keywords. Whatever you do don't buy a domain name with a potential trademark risk.

My preferred registrar for cheap domains registrations is Godaddy. When you do a bulk domain registration at Godaddy (6+ domains) they also give a domain registration discount as a bonus.

To buy registered premium domains you can search in the aftermarket: Sedo.com has a huge collection of quality premium domains that you can buy.

A last option to buy a domain name is to catch expired domains. This is basically a registered domain that used to belong to someone but their domain registration expired because they forgot to renew. A recommended site where you can back order domain names is SnapNames. They have a database that keeps track of the expired domain lists and which you can use to do an expired domain names search. Don’t believe you can snatch a good domain yourself once it drops because there are crazy systems that monitor and find these domain names.
