Getting a domain for your blog

As technology is taking new forms daily, the world wide web, which has been a field with few players is gradually crowding as many enthusiasts from  all around the globe are started taking part in. Blogging became a major channel for individuals to express their own voice and share their views. But a big dilemma is how to and what is the process to get a domain for blog.

After brainstorming your blog name when you start shopping for a domain name, you will end up with endless list of domain sellers with their own strategies. Don’t afraid, it’s a common experience any new blogger. As there are tones of websites to buy a domain from one more thing you should check is whether it provides hosting.

New domain names you can get at cheap rate only, 5 to 10 USD per year generally. So you have to pay for every 12 months. After that the domain automatically gets expired and gets deleted. You can leave it if you don’t want to continue with it. There are many cases in which first time bloggers abandon their blogs as they like the name eventually or they may not get expected feedback instead a negative one. So make sure that you keep your domain name something professional, as it represents your business identity online.

Instead of following the herd by choosing .com, you can even try some other extensions like .info, .org, .us, .net. You can even tempt to get a free domain name from a hosting site, but many of them are not reliable and there is a chance that they can get benefitted from your work. A small initial amount keeps you on the safe side, also even that you can earn back from your page’s ads. If you are buying a domain which has been already hosting some pages make sure to check its background i.e its previous pages to confirm that there was no porn or some hate pages. This one can check by using some tools like archive.org which stores screen shots of all web pages.

Some of the websites providing it are webhosting hub , godaddy, namecheap. Also you can use blogger which is Google’s hosted blog platform, which is providing cheapest cost of entry into blogging. You can even make money from the ads being posted, although not millions in one night.

So, finally after getting your dream domain, buy it and start your own blog, type out your thoughts, let others see your innovation.
