How To Create Your Own Domain Name for a Company

How To Create Your Own Domain Name for a Company Issued Direct Sales Website how to set up your own site when the company you work for issues a subdomain to you redirecting your own domain to the company issued domain

Many direct sales companies, in fact most of them, have a website and a domain name they assign to new sales representatives. Usually the domain name looks like this
www.directsalessite.com./yournamehere.

While this is fine, it isnt optimal for sales. A great way to drive traffic to your website is to purchase your own domain name and redirect it to the company appointed website. Heres how to do it.

Step 1. Choose your domain name. A domain can end in a variety of extensions including .com, .net, .biz, .us, .ca. Some extensions cost more than others, though it shouldnt cost more than $15 a year to register a domain name. When choosing your domain consider keywords people will use to find your products. For example if youre selling Tupperware then the domain name TupperwareByJanet

Some things to keep in mind when choosing a domain name.

oTry to keep the name short and sweet. The longer the name the more difficult it is to remember and the more likely itll be misspelled.

oKeywords are important. People looking for Tupperware are going to search for Tupperware on Google. If the word is in your domain name you have a better chance of showing up on the search engine results.

o.com is the most commonly recognized domain extension followed by .net. If you can get a domain name with these extensions it may be easier to drive traffic to your site.

oChoose several domain names before you sit down to register one. Your top choice may not be available and itll be helpful if you have a selection.

Step. 2 Find a domain registration service. There are an abundance of these available and domains com at a wide range of prices. Do a bit of research on the company to make sure theyre a company with a solid reputation as well as reasonable prices.

Step 3. Research and register. Log onto your domain registration service of choice and sit down with your credit card in hand. Why? If you have to go back later, even five minutes later, to pay for your domain name, it could be gone. Try your first domain name and see if it is available. If it is, grab it. If it isnt move onto your second choice.

Step 4. Its time to redirect your domain name. Redirecting is simply pointing the servers in the right direction. The result is someone types in your new domain name and they land on your company web page. The redirect process is a little different with each service however rest assured it is generally a straightforward process that basically involves finding the name servers from your company assigned website and adding them to your new domain name. The name servers will look something like this:

NS 011532
NS2 011532

Once youve entered the redirect information, it generally takes less than 24 hours to show up.

Having your own domain name is a great way to establish yourself as a direct sales representative and drive traffic, and sales to your website.

Step 3. You have a choice of two video formats, either AVI or SWF. AVI is a standard video format that most people can easily open however SWF is better if you want to publish your file to a website. SWF is a flash format. Some feel SWF is better for web publication because you don’t have to embed it onto your site.
