## Choosing a Domain Registrar

- Posted on Monday, July 15, 2019

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.

1. **Reliability** - Is this a company you have heard of and trust with the safekeeping something as critical as your domain name?

2. **Security** - Do they offer _2-factor authentication_? What is their verification process when someone calls in to make changes to a domain account?

3. **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.

4. **Email Hosting** - If you’re in the market for an email hosting provider, does this company offer a reliable, secure solution?

5. **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?

6. **Domain Forwarding Cost** - Do they charge for domain forwarding (redirecting alternate domains to your primary domain)?

7. **Customer Service** - When you call to talk to someone in customer service, is it a good experience?
