Follow these actions
Write three options
Keep names short, easy to say, and easy to spell. Avoid hyphens and a name you might outgrow next year.
Check availability
Search each full address at a domain registrar or host. Check common lookalikes as well so visitors will not be confused.
Compare the full cost
Read the first-year price, renewal price, taxes, and any optional extras separately. A low introductory price may renew at a higher amount.
Check the account details
Register the domain in an account you control. Keep renewal reminders and the account email up to date.
Buy when ready
You can plan without buying now. When you purchase, save the confirmation and confirm the domain appears in your account.
Do not buy multiple add-ons just because they appear in the checkout. Read each item before paying.
Before you move on
My domain is easy to spell.
I know both the first-year and renewal costs.
I control the account that owns the domain.
