NAMING A WEBSITE
Choosing a name for your website is an important decision. The name is very
important and valuable. If you have not chosen a name for your company yet, you may
want to consider searching domain name availability and select a company name that
is available as a web address. You can search URL names and buy website names
directly from this site by going to the Website Naming page. When searching for your
URL names, be sure to double check the spelling.
