Web Hosting Services – More on Domain Names
Once you have decided the domain name for your business, the next step is to acquire it in your name or the name of your business. If you are a small business owner, a freelancer or a single proprietor you can go ahead with registering the domain name under your name and provide the same details for official as well as technical contact details. However, if you are a medium to large scale business or offer your services to the corporate sector and other businesses it is best if you have your domain name registered under the name of your business. Your online business will look more professional if its domain name is registered under the name of a business as once in a while a customer may review the details of your domain registration before trusting you with a huge deal.
To get a domain you can either have your domain registered with a registrar yourself or you can have Courtix register your desired domain name for you, and you can pay the annual fee along with your web hosting bills. Some ISPs also offer Domain name registrations with accounts. In comparison of registering a domain name by yourself getting one through your web host or ISP is a lot easier but other web host may not be very helpful when you move to a different web host. i.e., if you would like to move your website and domain to Courtix from your previous web host they may delay the domain transfer as they can not interfere with the website transfer for various unprofessional reasons. Therefore registering a domain name with a registrar is advised.

Awesome blog. I respect that the author of this website wants decent comments on his or her blog. So, I thought I would offer some domain advice for the readers. When selecting your domain name you must be crafty with the name. If you’re targeting a niche opportunity, then select a domain name that is identical to your targeted keyword. If you’re performing your own branding, then pick something easily remembered.
