1. Who knows you might have come out with a good name that worth some good money like pizza.com? Check your domain name availability from sources you can trust. NEVER use Netsol.com, they have a strange policy that block you from register the new-found-name from others between a certain period of time.

2. Find a domain name reseller with shorter processing time. Domain name registration can be done in minutes except those country-based domain name such as .com.my which take hours to a day. Before placing an order, make sure your reseller can process your domain name without any delay.

3. After your domain name registered successfully, run WHOIS to make sure the domain name was registered under your name or organization. Make sure it’s your email under the Registrant section. Your name and email are the two most important information to prove the ownership of your domain.

4. You can find two DNS address associated with every domain name. Remember when you have entered a domain name in the web brower and hit enter? The query sent to DNS to find out where is your web server, etc. If your DNS server is down, the query will fail. Check out this DNS uptime report!

5. Your domain name expires every year unless you have renewed it in time. A good renewal system by your reseller is important and make sure you don’t miss any of this important date like Advertlets.com
