InternetBusinessManual.com - Step 5: Ideal Domain Name Registry

But, the number one reason you should choose this registry over any other peddling at the same low price, is because this company gives you a complete control panel to directly and quickly manage the registry information in your domain name.

This is a powerful, important feature that I will go into later in Step 14. But for now, all you need to know is you SHOULD ONLY register your domain name with a place that lets you change your personal information in your domain name ANY time you want, WITHOUT any extra cost.

There are lots of registries that sock the inexperienced with fees for making the tiniest changes in their registry information, or make you sign an affidavit to make any change and send it by registered mail, and jump all kinds of hoops to make changes on YOUR domain name.

Bottom line is they will get away with what they can to charge you extra, and then they will hold their breaths figuratively, hoping you will never find out, and leave them.

Don’t ask why they keep doing this when they know there are places like Register-Domain-Name-Store that let you do it for free. But…it takes all types to make a world.

A lot of them are gambling on the hope you’ll never find out about those others…places like Register-Domain-Name-Store that let you do it for free, and have any changes you make practically immediate on the Internet.

The key item to remember here is:

It’s not only about finding the place that charges the cheapest price for domain names. It’s also about having a place that lets you change your hosting information and registry data any time you want for free.

On top of that, through your free control panel at Register-Domain-Name-Store, you can easily edit your nameservers, the locking status of your domain name, forward your domains, renew your domain, cancel your domain and even add privacy, or even remove privacy, all at the click of your mouse. If you come to register more than one domain name you will appreciate these easy global edit features. They also have a lot of handy services besides the ones mentioned available in your account.

Having the ability to edit at will your domain name's nameservers is very important as this lets you have the freedom and power to change hosting companies. The nameservers are where you list your hosting company's DNS.

DNS stands for Domain Name System, and DNS is the Internet address for each computer on the net, using easily recognizable letters and words, instead of the numbers.

Generally each company that hosts or parks your name has at least 2 DNS addresses for you to list when you register your domain name. Your hosting company gives you this information when you sign up with them.

However, when you register your domain name, you can also enter in the DNS information of the company you will be hosting with ahead of your signing up with them to save time. There is no rule that states you have to pay for your hosting ahead of entering in the DNS information when you register your domain name.

However, you can also choose to use the free nameservers provided by the domain name registrar. This is called 'parking' your domain name, and parking means it is just sitting there without any hosting. When you choose parking, you will see your domain name store's page stating your domain name and that it is parked.

Putting in DNS information from your hosting company doesn’t make your web site appear. The hosting company must first activate an account for you in their system, putting in your domain name information, before your domain name will point to their servers.

One of the great things about Register-Domain-Name-Store.com is you can change your domain name's DNS as many times as you want. So if you type in the wrong information, or have changed your mind about who you want to host with, you can log-in to your account and change the DNS information.

When it comes to registering domains, every course or report from the well-known Internet Marketers, focuses on the least expensive place. But they all overlook that it’s not just about price, it’s also about having complete control over your registry information. Being able to freely manage your domain information, prevents you from ever losing your domain name because you can't prove who you are to a registry that doesn't remember your contact information, or a registry that simply does not respond in time to your emails for help managing your domain before it expires.

However, do not accept Register-Domain-Name-Store's web hosting. Their prices are over-priced for their hosting services. Step 9 details a fabulous company to host with that charges several dollars less for the same hosting plans, with even more features.
