Domain Names
 

Detailed below is how to check if a domain name is available.  Once you obtain a domain name, and keep it renewed every year, no one else can ever use your unique domain name... it belongs to you for your use only!  We do not register domains... this domain check is provided as a free service for you to check domain availability.

There are hundreds of places on the Internet to register and obtain your domain name... prices vary widely... we have seen pricing from $7.00 to $35.00.  You can use any registrar that you wish... do a search on Internet for "domain registrars" and you will find hundreds.  Make sure that the domain name registrar you use registers your name in the International "whois" directory... if it is not registered in the "whois" database it is not protected from someone else using that name!

We suggest not using any of the new domain name extensions like .biz or .info or .us or .net or whatever... only use a .com name (.com's are what people expect)!  Keep your domain name as short as possible but at the same time it should tell people what you do.  You can check below to see if the domain name you like is available:
