There are a LOT of choices when it comes to where to register a new domain name. A quick Google search will leave you wondering which one you should choose. Here are a few things to consider before clicking on the first link your mouse finds.
Reliability - Is this a company you have heard of and trust with the safekeeping something as critical as your domain name?
Security - Do they offer 2-factor authentication? What is their verification process when someone calls in to make changes to a domain account?
5 Year Cost - How much will you pay for 5 years of domain registration? The first year is often discounted to get you in the door - the subsequent years are often higher. A 5 year cost comparison is usually more accurate.
Email Hosting - If you’re in the market for an email hosting provider, does this company offer a reliable, secure solution?
DNS Management - How are the DNS records managed? Can you make the changes yourself, or do you have to submit a request to have it done? Are there any additional costs incurred for DNS management or changes?
Domain Forwarding Cost - Do they charge for domain forwarding (redirecting alternate domains to your primary domain)?
Customer Service - When you call to talk to someone in customer service, is it a good experience?
