Buying a Domain for my Website

There are 2 things that make up a website: domain and the actual website being built (we can do both for you). Common questions that our team gets is who buys the domain, where do I buy a domain and what is a domain? My Local Business Texas tries to make things simple for you so the only thing that you have to worry about is seeing a finished website!

What is a Domain?

A domain is the address where your website will live. Think about it like a house – you went to builder, picked out your design and now you need an lot(address) were you it built. A domain is the same from a digital standpoint. No two websites can share the same domain or website address. Each domain is unique to itself so spelling and making sure that it matches your business name is incredibly important.

Finding the right domain is important. We encourage you to find the right domain and registering it before deciding on the actual name of your business. In our experience it is harder to find a matching domain after you have invested money in branding.

Who Buys My Domain?

We encourage all of our clients to always buy the domain through a self owned account. This way you will know how to access it. The only thing you will have to remember is to make sure that you have an updated card for annual renewals. As part of process we do buy and manage do most of our clients domain names. Our policy is to make sure that our clients know that they are owners of their domains from the start. Not sure if you are buying from a reputable source or if you buying it correctly? Let us help.

Where Do I Buy a Domain?

This is probably the easiest question to address when it comes to domain names. There are thousands of domain hosting companies and sellers like: GoDaddy, Google, Bluehost, IONOS and Register. When searching for a domain you might see some that are cheaper than others. Sometimes that is due to a domain being a premium domain and being resold by a reseller. These can get very expensive. If you have questions before buying your domain please feel free to reach out to us.
