Why You Need the Perfect Domain Name
Creating brand awareness for your business online is the foundation of marketing and shouldn’t be something you ignore. If your site is easy to find when your users are searching the Internet, you increase your chances of converting website visitors into paying customers.
All of this starts with having the right domain. Your domain name is your identity online. It’s how users can identify your business, especially if you have an online store.

Domains
Best practice to chose a domain name.
Keep it simple (Simplicity makes your domain easy to remember and easy to visit again)
Stay brandable (Be unique, but stay clear of alternative spelling of werdz (like that, for example).
Be quick about it (What’s available today could be gone tomorrow, so grab your favorite domain while you can!)
Hyphens- aren't-helpful (Keep it simple, try not to add hyphens as long as you can.)
Consider other extensions (Protect your brand by grabbing similar domainnames: .net, .org, or even .website)
What is a domain name?
A domain name is what makes your site visible to the outside world. For example, our domain name is ButumTech.com, the address you used to get here. A domain name is where your online presence begins. These days, it’s possibly more important than having a phone number. With our instant domains search, you can check domain name availability and find a specific name for your site.
What is the difference between a domain and web hosting?
A domain is an actual name or address people will use to navigate to your website. Web hosting is what powers the storage and back end of your site to make it functional. You can order a domain without web hosting, but you can’t purchase hosting without a domain name.
I already have a domain name, can I transfer it to ButumTech?
Absolutely! If you have already registered your domain with another provider, you can use the form above to transfer it to ButumTech.
What is the difference between .com, .net, and .org domain endings?
In the earlier days of the Internet, you were limited to three top-level domains (TLDs), also referred to as domain extensions or domain endings. These were:
- 1 - .com (Commercial)
- 2 - .net (Network)
- 3 - .org (Organization)
However, times have changed and there are now hundreds of different TLDs, the most popular extensions being .biz, .us, .dev, .xyz, and so on. This gives you many options to choose from. While .com is the most popular domain extension, you are welcome to search for the extensions that work best for you.
How do domain registrations work?
First, you have to search and see if your domain is available. If it is, you can take ownership of the name by registering it, which includes a yearly renewal fee (i.e. $12.98/year for .com). Failure to pay this renewal fee makes the domain available for registration again.
What are premium domains?
Some highly sought domains have already been registered by investors or other organizations and they make them available on the “aftermarket.” Domains that show as premium are still available, but most of the time a much higher rate than an original registration.
Can I register more than one domain for my website?
Yes! You can register as many domains as you wish for your website, but only one may actually serve the website. For example, ButumTech.com is our primary domain, but we own many other domains that redirect to our website.
How can I setup my email at my own domain?
If you have an existing email account (i.e. at gmail.com) you may register a domain and purchase “email forwarding” to give you the ability to forward emails from @yourdomain.com to your gmail.com account and vice-versa as needed. If you’d prefer to have a separate email account for your domain, these are available with all our email hosting packages.
Once I register a domain, can I change it later?
Unfortunately all domain registrations are final upon payment and cannot be changed. Therefore it’s very important when registering a domain to double check the spelling. However, you do not have any obligation to continue renewing the domain each year, you can let it expire once the first year is up.
How do I use the domain search engine above?
Simply enter a phrase (with or without a TLD) and click search. Our domain search engine will then immediately show available domains and provide a number of suggestions to help you find the perfect domain for your business.
Can I include a number in my domain name?
Yes. Domains may include letters, numbers, and hyphens (-).
Is Domain Name Privacy Protection worth it?
To put it simply: yes, yes, and yes.
To put it a little less simply: When your domain is registered, you’re required to maintain a publicly viewable WHOIS database that displays all your contact details — including home address and phone number. This puts you at risk of spam and identity theft.
Luckily, you can keep your info hidden from the public eye by opting to use ButumTech Domain Privacy Protection. Interested parties will still be able to contact you if they so please, but your identity will remain anonymous.
