Domain Names People Are Registering
Your choice of domain names is as wide and as fresh as your
imagination or as near as your dog, your street, or your own
name!
Here are some of the types of names being registered:
- Full names
- Family names
- Pet names
- Team or club names
- Names of books, poetry, music, movies, literature or art that
people have created or plan to create
- Names that will be used for marketing a business in order to
track advertising results. For example, a farmer named Joe can
register an everyday domain name such as joefarmer.com. He can
also register a special domain name, such as www.myfarmweb.com.
When Joe buys print advertising, he can use "myfarmweb" as the
contact web address in the ad and point this URL at his regular
farm website. He can then track the number of "hits" to his
website generated by that particular ad.
- Toll-free phone numbers (this is very popular in Asian
countries, because Asian characters cannot be registered in the
global data base)
- Names that protect a brand. People are registering the .com,
.net, .org, .info, .biz, .name, .ca, .us, .cn, .eu, .de and .pro
domain names for their companies, in order to stop
cybersquatters from taking advantage of their success.
