Quick Cloud: I want to build a personal website, how to buy a domain name?

The basic condition for building a website is to have a website domain name. Website construction involves a lot of content and requires certain skills. Today, I want to share with you how to buy a suitable domain name in the first step of building a website.

When you want to build your own website, the first step is to find a brand company for domain name registration, such as a fast cloud IDC service provider. And purchase servers from the same cloud server operator, eliminating the problems that may arise during domain name resolution. Because if you registered a domain name with operator A and purchased a cloud server from company B, then when it comes to domain name resolution, you need to change the DNS of operator A to operator B, and it still needs to be realized. Communicate with operator A. If the domain name is migrated later, the renewal fee is inevitable, and the migration time period is longer.

The editor believes that novice webmasters can register new domain names to practice their skills. Except for professional domain name speculation, they need to register more domain names. In most cases, they do not need to register too much, because domain name purchase and renewal are also a cost.

Today, Xiaobian shares how to buy a suitable domain name, hoping to clear your doubts:

The first step is the meaning of the domain name.

To build a website, the domain name must have a certain meaning, either representing the main content of the website, or the brand name, or the creator’s own name or words with special meaning to the creator. Typically, the domain name itself is the pinyin of a word, or a complete English word, or a combination of the first letters of pinyin. It’s easy to remember and lets people know what a website based on that domain name is going to do.

The domain name of a website must have a meaning. This meaning can refer to the main content of the website, the brand, the name of the creator, and the special meaning. What is often used is that the domain name itself is a word pinyin, English expression, a combination of initials, etc. Such a domain name is not only easy to be remembered by everyone, but also can bring website image publicity to everyone.

The second step is the length of the domain name.

The price rule of domain name is that the shorter the more expensive. It is not difficult to find that the shorter the domain name is registered very early and it is difficult to grab it. Unless there is a new suffix, it is possible to miss it. Now powerful domain name registration tools and domain name detection tools have appeared on the market, so it is generally difficult to grab a robot. Short domain names are very beneficial for use and promotion. It is recommended that the combination of letters such as pinyin of the domain name should not exceed 5 letters, so that it is easier to be remembered by everyone.

The third step is the combination of domain names.

The common forms of domain names are pure English, pure pinyin, and pure numbers, as well as domain name combinations, such as the combination of the first letter of a word, and the combination of letters and numbers. Before registering and using a domain name, the meaning should be the first element, so as to avoid everyone’s association with bad meanings. For example, the price of Shuangpinyin domain names has always been high, but it is not easy for people to remember. Therefore, such website domain names have certain limitations in promotion, and are likely to be regarded as fake versions of popular websites.

The fourth step is the domain name suffix.

There are more and more patterns of domain name suffixes, but there are still many people who think that only top-level domains such as .com and .net are valuable, and those suffixes with special meanings are some industry-specific domain names. When the domain name with the .com suffix you like is registered, you can try other suffixes. If it is a domestic website, many suffixes cannot be recorded. It is recommended to choose an overseas operator, such as a fast cloud IDC service provider. Reminder: Do not register domain names with Chinese characters attached, because they are unnecessarily expensive to renew.

Finally, you should pay attention to the price of each product. The price of domain names is usually cheap for the first year and then the price of renewal will gradually increase. Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to use this domain name for a long time, you can choose to pay for a longer time, which is more favorable.

To sum up, regarding the points you should pay attention to when choosing a domain name, if you want to have your own website, consider the above points, I hope you can choose a domain name that you like and that has certain value.
