Domains are bought and registered through domain registrars. They serve to be the managers of domains. Signing up with iPage would give you one free domain that will be good for one year. You can also choose to maintain more than one domain. Among these domains, you can set one that will hold your website’s name while the others would serve as sub domains. It is advised that you furnish your sub domains until you will be able to fully decide which of them would best represent as your main site.
Since domain name represents the address that will be used to locate your page, it is also best that you choose a name that will be appealing to people. It should also be something that can easily be remembered. You can use domain names that would best give people an idea of its contents. Doing this would enable them to memorize them more and will give you an upper hand especially when it comes to online competition.
