Two things to consider before you buy a website

Domain Name
The first thing you need before you buy a website is a domain name. For example, at risk of pointing out the obvious, elliotwebdevelopment.com is our domain name. You can check out available domain names here: Whois.Net Domain Names or here: Go Daddy Domain Name Search.
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to find a memorable, short and snappy domain name, unless you have deep pockets, which means you will almost certainly have to compromise, as we have, by going longer.

What then are the secrets of choosing a domain name?
Using this Domain Suggestion Tool, a dictionary and a thesaurus have always worked for us when choosing domain names. It also helps if you are extremely patient. At times, it can seem like someone has snapped up all the good ones. At this stage, try to resist the temptation to throw your computer out the window. Keep persevering, and you should eventually hit on something you like. Alternatively, get in touch with us via the contact form, and we will do most of the work for you.

Hosting
The other thing you need before buying a website is hosting. These people provide the required technology to get your website on the Internet. Hosting charges these days are superb value. If you can afford £7/month, then you are all set. Again, get in touch if you would like help choosing a reliable web host.
