What is a good domain name?

You should choose a domain name that is short, easy enough to remember and easy to spell. If the domain name you want is already taken, you can see if the .net or .org variation is available. You can also use hyphens to create unique domain names.

Be careful! If you do choose a .net, .org or domain name with hyphens, you must make sure you’re not treading on someone else’s toes.

If you use a name that is trademarked or copyrighted, or protected in some other way, the owner of that name can come after you. It’s best always to choose a unique name and do check first that it’s not the name of an existing company or business. You can do that easily just by searching online.

Which characters are allowed?

You are allowed to use numbers, letters and hyphens. However, you cannot begin or end with a hyphen in the domain name.

Do I have to put the http:// on?

No, because that will be done automatically for you.

There are ways to protect your downloads. I use them myself.

One of the best ways to get started is with a low cost high value solution, called SmartDD Lite. It’s a tool that makes it almost impossible for people to steal your products. It’s a digital download protection too, in fact.

Here’s that link I promised you: Special Offer

System requirements: Your web space must be running at least PHP4 & MySQL.

That’s it. Most decent server set ups have both of the above, so you should be fine, but there’s always a couple who try to turn back the clock.  If you need a recommendation on webhosting just have a look here.
