Having a business website is an essential part of your online presence. Your site:
- is part of your business identity and branding
- allows you to communicate with your client and allows them to get in touch with you
- can allow you to sell products and provide services online.
Step 1: Get a domain name and URL
It’s important to choose a good domain name. It affects:
- how easily client can find your site
- how much client will trust your website and brand
- your intellectual property and trademark protection.
Do you already have a domain name? Relax, we can move your domain to our servers which is much faster and cheaper.
Still confused about what a domain is? Here we give a few explanations about domains
Your domain name is part of your URL (unique resource locator). A URL is a website address on the internet. It allows customers to get to your website.
The URL consists of the following parts:
- HTTP or HTTPS: if the website has a security certificate (SSL), the first part of the URL is HTTPS. If there is no security certificate, it will be HTTP
- www: indicates that this is a website displayed on the World Wide Web
- domain name: the name of your website, for example, joecafe
- domain name extension: the part of the URL after the domain name, for example, .com .net .org .us or something else. Let's say we choose .com
In conclusion, your domain name will look like this: https://www.joecafe.com
Your domain name should be easy to remember and type in a browser.
Don't :
- make it too long (for example, joecafeisthebestcafeintown.com)
- use hyphens or underscores (for example, the_best-cafe-in-austin.com)
- use zeros or numbers in place of the letters (for example, th3_b3st_c4fe_in_4ustin.com)
- use incorrect spelling (for example, bstcafeinaustin).
After choosing a domain name, you need to choose a suitable domain name extension. The domain name extension is the part of the URL that indicates where the domain name is registered.
The most common choice for American businesses is .us WHY?
- shows a business is registered in America
- is trusted by the local market
- have SEO impact in local search
The . us domain extension is not available to everyone. In order to buy a .us domain, you must be a permanent resident or citizen of the United States, an individual whose home or domicile is in the United States or an organization that is incorporated in the US
