Can I have more than one Domain Name? Why register multiple domain names?
Many people ask these questions. Here follows a little information which may help you decide how many domain names and what names you may wish to register.
It's quite common for a web site to be referenced by more than one domain name. In fact, most sites are referenced by at least two: a www version and a non-www version.
You aren't restricted as to how many domain names you can register. Many people and businesses like to register the .com, .co.uk and other endings or extensions of their domain.
In part this is so that other people can't can register the similar domain names .Additionally many potential web site visitors may simply type addresses straight into the search engines or their browsers. They will type a name which they think will find websites relevant to the subject matter they are seeking information about. Alternatively they may type in a domain name which they have heard mentioned in advertising or conversations. They may type in a .co.uk name, a .com domain name, an .eu name or indeed any other extension.
Typos - Sometimes people misspell things, and domain names are no exception. Knowing this, you can get some respectable traffic by purchasing common misspellings for your domain name.
You may want to use the name of your company, organisation, club or family name, products or brands as a web site addresses.
A domain name can say a lot about you or your company. Keep your domain name memorable, punchy and appropriate. Different mediums can be used to promote a website and these may have a bearing on the choice of domain name.
For example, if you were conducting a radio advertising campaign, you would need to choose something short, directly related to your product, and something which is impossible to spell incorrectly by mistake.
Another advantages in multiple domain name registration, is to protecting product or brand names. Multiple domain name may also enable the companies to draw attention to different facets of a business, though still marketing them together within one web site.
