Domain Name Registration

A domain name is what you type into the address bar to go to a website (ex. www.epitomedigitalmarketing.com).

Yes, you need a domain name for your website as a way for people to have an easier time finding and accessing your website.

People will use the domain name by typing into the address bar at the top of their web browser to access your website.

There are hundreds of domain name extensions available, but most of the clients we get will likely use one or more of the following: .com, .net, .org, and .edu.

When clients ask us if the domain they want is available we always use who.is to check for available domain names.

You can buy a domain name yourself through a domain registrar such as GoDaddy or we can always purchase it for you.

While you don't need to, you should set up a private domain registration. This ensures that you are not harassed by spam calls or targeted by scammers. When you first register a domain, if it’s not a private registration, you’ll spend upwards to a few months with sometimes more than a couple dozen companies calling you, trying to offer you marketing services due to your recently registered domain. You also put your information at risk such as your name, phone number, and email address being used to register other domain names by scammers which further increases the number of calls you receive from solicitors.

Epitome Digital Marketing makes sure that the domains we register for our clients are private so your information stays private.

Not always. Depending on the name of your business and the services or products you sell, sometimes you may want to buy multiple domains. It all depends on how you want to market your company.

When you register a domain, you’re paying an annual price and it should be renewed automatically each year. You always have the option to choose to not renew it.

If you do not renew your domain name, you will lose the domain and it can likely be really difficult and costly to get it back.

Yes, we build websites. Check out our Website Development services to learn more about how we can build a website for your business.
