Business Sense: Domain Name

After a two week vacation and a trip to Florida to visit Jim's family, I'm back at work on my Scotty bag project.

I had almost forgotten to register a domain name, but then my friend mentioned domain names in a conversation about something completely unrelated, and I panicked. I came straight home, asked a couple of questions of another friend, and registered my domains. Phew!

This process has been made absurdly easy. And although their Super Bowl commercials are highly suspect, I went with GoDaddy.com because that was the site recommended to me.

You just do a simple search on the website to find out if your desired names are already registered, and then you choose a few different options for how long and how protected you want your domains to be.

And voila! (when I was a kid I always thought this expression was "Wa La" and I spelled it as such) I have registered the following domains:

www.scottybags.com
www.scotty-bags.com
www.scottyfashion.com
www.scotty-fashion.com
www.scottysurf.com

There is nothing on any of those pages, so I didn't bother to link them on here, but I will defintely make a big deal out of it when I do launch my site!

Grand total spent: $342.92 for 5 domains for 3 years + 5 email addresses at one of these domains.
