Which domain name is available?

A domain is a searchable name online that ends with TLD extension. A TLD is preceded by a dot(.). A common TLD is .com. If you have a business and searching for a domain, then you would search for a .com domain as a first choice. If you are not able to get .com, then you can go for a .net, and .biz.

You might also want to get a business name that will be searchable in your country if you are not able to get the .com domain as a first choice. So in U.S you would search for a .us; if in U.K, you would search for a .co.uk, and so forth depending on your country.

If your business name is smith, then your domain would look like smith.com. Sometimes if your business has a common name like smith for instance in this example, then it will be hard to get a smith.com domain as it has already been taken.

Therefore, whenever you start your business, take into consideration the domain name which is the same as online business name that will allow you to have your business online. 

You do not have to have the business name as the domain name. As in our example, our business name is Reachnet LLC, but our domain name is reachnetsystems.com.

Other TLDs include .net, .org, .biz, .info, .us, .co.uk, and .edu among others. Many other domains can go by country which takes the last 2 initials of the country just like .us is mostly used by people or businesses in the United States.

Domain name availability can be hard. This is because, most of the common names especially if your business name is common have already been taken as in the example above smith.com. 

Remember you can use a different name that is not exactly the same as your business name as this will allow you get the domain that might be close, and available for your use.
