You@Yourcompany.com

A Step-by-Step Guide to Registering and Setting up a Domain Name

  by Julie King and Kevin Jackson          
 
Page 1 - Introduction

In recent months we have had many entrepreneurs ask about registering a domain name, such as yourcompany.com, initially to receive email and also to reserve the name for a future website. Not only does a personalized email address - you@yourcompany.com - enhance your image and credibility, but it can also reduce the headache of changing your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and therefore your standard email address – you@yourISP.com – in the future.

To an experienced Internet professional, setting up a personalized domain and associated email address is a simple task, but to the average entrepreneur this can be a complex and costly project. Join us as we walk through the steps of researching, registering, and setting up your own domain, and discover how easy and inexpensive getting your own domain can be.
