If you are planning to register for your business domain name, one thing is a must, you have to seek help from a company that offers domain registration service. There are more and more companies providing this service, and as someone who needs it, he/she should be smart enough to choose who among them is best to hire.
Some are not as confident about hiring such service, as they think that they can do it on their own. Considering that their service comes with many conveniences, there is no reason why would you choose working on registering for a domain on your own than hiring their service.
But to any service you need, asking questions is what you have to do. The more questions you ask, the closer you can get to hiring the best company and at the same time, knowing what to expect from hiring this service.
Do not worry as asking questions does not mean you need to acquire their service; it only means that you are interested about their service and you want to learn more about them.
There are many questions to ask, but you can actually start with the questions below:
- How long does it need to finish the registration of the domain?
One of the things you have to ask is timeline. How long does it need for your domain registration to be completed? You are running a business; hence, it is important that you know whether the company can deliver to your time requirement or not.
This question is not to rush their service but only to set your expectations rightfully. Of course, you would not want the opening of your business delayed, just because your domain name is not ready yet.
- When will it expire?
Just so you know, your domain name should be renewed. It is not yours forever, hence asking the company on when you need to renew your domain name is a must.
To make sure that you won’t forget, jot it down in your calendar. Needless to say, if you are dealing with a trustworthy company, expect that they will give you a call earlier before your registration expires.
- Can I renew my domain to a different company?
It depends, but majority of companies do not allow the domain names they register be renewed by a different company. Asking the company what is the process of renewal is necessary so at least you know what you need to do when the renewal date comes.
Actually, dealing with renewal is best if you let the company that registers your domain do the job.
- How much fee do I need to save up to register a domain?
And yes, you must not forget to ask how much do you need to prepare when registering your domain name. The price varies with the domain name to be used and also, which company will handle your domain name registration.
You would not want them to start any registration process unless you know their rates.
