Domain registration - Where?

When I was new to web designing and web hosting, I used one tools which was very useful to me to find the best Domain registration and Web Hosting companies. Before register my first domain name, I searched for the WHOIS record of the other best websites. I used "Network Solutions" Whois record searching tool till two years back. But, now I am very impressed of the Whois tool from the Domaintools.com . Click this LINK to go the tool's page.
When you enter the domain name and hit the search button, you will be provided with lot of information about that domain name. Go to the bottom. There you will find all the registry data.
Here the "ICANN Registrar" is the company, which is providing the registration facility for that domain name. The "Name Server" will tell you where the website is being hosted. So, it is very easy to find a best domain name registration and hosting company in this way. Because, big websites have special team to maintain their website. So, they know what is best suitable for them.
Now, if you are satisfied with several companies, go to their websites and compare their plans. If you have any doubts on specific technical feature, raise a support request. If you receive the right answer at the earliest, assume that they may be helpful to you while you face problems hosting your website.
In India "Directi information pvt ltd" is providing the best service in Domain name registration as well as Web hosting services. Before the website name was www.directi.com. But now their retail division was handled by www.answerable.com. Really I like their service and prompt support. The domain registration charge also reduced a lot. Anyone can afford to own a domain name.
When I looked for the whois record of some reputed websites, most of them were registered their website with "Network Solutions". This is the LINK to their domain name registration service. I will go to them when I plan for big online business website domain name. I recommend this for domain name registration service.
So, if you are ready to register your own online home business website, don't delay before the keyword rich domain names will be taken by someone else.
Up to now in all my posts, I have explained only about choosing your online home business domain name. In my next posts, I will explain how you can make money online using your web site without selling anything from you. Hope these posts will help you understand what is an online home business.

Why keyword is important

Why the keywords are so important to your online home business website?

In my previous posts, i tried to explain how to select your keyword rich domain name. Here I like to tell why keywords are so important.
If you have a website and need more targeted traffic ( Means, the visitors who are looking for the same information what your web site's content contains) the one and only way is to obtain a top listing on search engine results. Most of the traffic to my website are comes from Google. Yes, it is about 80%. Still I am not on the first three listing for the keywords I am targeting. If my website will be listed on the first top 3 listing, I will receive about 600 to 1000 highly targeted visitors to my website.
Actually, my website is about home business in India. But I made a great mistake on choosing my domain name four years before, while I was not having much knowledge on Search engine optimization techniques. But, I am trying other ways to get the top 3 result for the targeted keyword.
So, search engines are the only source to bring more targeted traffic. I am keep on trying on improving my ranking. Whenever I made changes to my website, I will post the details here.
There are other ways to bring targeted traffic to your website. Among them. Google's Adword is standing on the top position. If you implement this PPC advertisement program effectively, you can definitely achieve the right traffic to your home business website. Traffic is more important among all other factors.
So, give important to keywords from the beginning of your Online home business journey. Search engine ranking is a difficult task. But it not an impossible task. Learn the tricks every day. Try different techniques which is allowed by the search engines. There are many important things you must avoid while designing to get penalized by search engines.
Keywords are very important for your success in online home business. So, lead your way with the right keywords always with you.

These two paid keyword analyzers will help you, if you are very serious about selecting the right keywords for your domain names, directory names, file names and each and every page content.

Online domain tools

In my last post "Selecting home business domain", I explained how you combine your searched keywords to select your online work from home business domain name. Here, I try to explain some best online domain suggesting tools.
I like to use the tool from www.webconfs.com to explain my idea. Go to this LINK
Here I searched the term "SAREE" at first. But I did not get any good result for the top searched key phrases. Those domain name key phrases are all already taken by others. See my result by clicking on the below picture.
I tried many combinations. But I did not get a right domain name with highly searched keyphrase for "SAREE". So, I decided to try another tools from "www.domaintools.com.
Which may help me to find a good domain name. Go to this LINK
Here I searched for the term "SAREE INDIA". I hope I got the result here. Click the picture below to see what I got when I post this article.
Now I can choose some keyword rich domain names form this list. Except Sareeindia.com all the other names are available.

  • Sareeindias.com
  • Indiasilksaree.com
  • Sareeindiaworld.com
  • Sareeindiaonline.com
  • Sareeindiadirect.com
I will choose any one of this domain name for my "Online saree home business" website, if I really going to start one. But I am not interested on saree business. Actually I am interested in Online Computer shopping. So, I am going to look one good domain name for my "Online Computer Shopping Home Business". See you on my next post. Bye.

Selecting home business domain

I explained the details of using the overture tool on my previous Article " Online Home Business Keywords". Now I will explain, how I am normally choosing the name for my website domain.

When you looked on the results the following will be the right name for your website.
  • Indiasaree.com
  • Indiasareeshop.com
  • Weddingsaree.com
  • Indiaweddingsaree.com
  • Silksaree.com
  • Indiasilksaree.com
  • Sareeworld.com
  • Indiasareeworld.com
  • Sarisaree.com
  • Indiasarisaree.com
When you look the results, you can get many keyword rich domain names for your home business website. But the truth is, the domain names may have been already taken by some other people. So you need to search for different combination. But here, the top five key words are India, Saree, Shop, Wedding and Silk. Combine these words for your domain name. Better not to go more than three words on your domain name.
You can try this technique on designing your blog like this one at blogger.com. I think the term "How to wear saree" is a better try. Try for the Blog name (http://howtowearsaree.blogspot.com). If that name is available, you can create a blog on that name and teach people on wearing a saree. This blog may be a great start for your future online home business website.

There are good domain suggestion tools are available to use free like this Overture tool. I will explain it on my next post.

By the way, I am using the term "SAREE" to make you understand how to choose your Online Home Business Domain Name. It can be any term, which is most suitable for your home business you are going to start.

Online home business keywords


Here is the way I used to select the keywords for my domain names, filenames, directory names and for the content on my web pages.

We can get a list of key phrases people using to search the internet by the " Overture Inventory Tool". Open this LINK in a new window. Search for a term "Saree". Now you will get the list with the count. The more the count, the more the search terms was searched on the internet. Click the picture for overture results for the term "Saree".


If you look at that it will be easy to understand what the people are looking for on the internet. If you are able sell saree online, you can go for the next step of choosing your domain name. Before that, search for different terms and copy paste the suggestion list on a Word or Excell document to make a print out. The actual count on this overture tool will give you an idea. The real searched count on Google search engine will be multi times more than this Overture Count. Overture count is based on Yahoo Search. Google share on the world searches is more than 60%. The rest of all other search engines will come under the 40%. So, we can multiply the overture count by 10 times to know the Google' search count. This is an example. Not the exact calculation.

Next we can study the Domain Name registration part of your online home business website or blog.
