How Do I Start My Online Business
The most basic step towards your online venture is registration of your domain name. Being a reseller
web host you should try to avoid registering domain names with other hosting companies. Get your domain name
registered directly from a registrar. We use namecheap.com for most of our domain names but you can use any
registrar that suits you. The most popular ones are:
• www.Godaddy.com
• www.Enom.com
• www.NetworkSolutions.com
• www.Register.com
• www.Namecheap.com
Try to register all the major extensions for example .com, .net, .org, .info, .biz, .us etc. This is important
for your brand name protection as it avoids domain hijacking or your competitors trying to use your name to sell
their services.
Try to be creative when selecting a domain name for yourself. A domain name that is easier to remember is often
more suitable as it remains in the head of a potential visitor for a long time.
Secure Your Brand Name.
This is the first baby step you will take towards your ultimate financial freedom. We live in the 21st century.
Corporate environment has changed a lot. You can now sue Donald trump just because he has got bad hair or sell
Paris Hilton’s private belongings on the Internet just because she failed to pay a $200 storage facility bill.
Yes it is silly but in today’s competitive corporate environment you can play with the law or the law can play
with you. Your brand name security is very important. What a $7 per year domain is today might be million dollar
company tomorrow.
Long gone are the days when search engines were interested in the keywords inside the domain name while
ranking the site, therefore you may not go for domains like buy-cheap-web-site-hosting.com. Make sure you
choose a classy, corporate and brandable website name for yourself that you can take pride on later.
You can start business in two ways.
• Do Business As
• Corporation or LLC
According to BizFilings.com
“A DBA filing allows a company to transact business using a different name. DBA filings often take place at
the county level, but some states have state-level DBA filings. For sole proprietorships and general partnerships,
unless a DBA is filed, the company name is the same as the name(s) of owner(s). For example, John Smith is
operating a landscaping business as a sole proprietorship. He files a DBA to transact business under the name
Smith’s Landscaping instead of as John Smith.
Corporations and LLCs can also file DBAs to transact business under a name different from the name registered
with the state when the business was incorporated. For example, a corporation formed as Smith and Sons, Inc. may
wish to transact business under a name that more clearly states what the company does, such as The Corner Market,
and could file a DBA to use the more descriptive name. A DBA filing does not change the official name of the
corporation or LLC. It only allows the business to use a different name in trade, which can be in addition to or
instead of the official corporate or LLC name.
Keep in mind that for sole proprietorships and general partnerships, filing for a DBA does not provide the same
benefits that forming a corporation or LLC does. Filing a DBA merely allows the company to transact business with
the new name. For corporations and LLCs, filing a DBA does not create a new business entity, it just allows the
existing entity to use a different name.”
We would recommend that you spend some money to register..
