If it is not possible then you have to publicize two names, which is not only difficult for you to market but difficult for the customers also because he has to remember two things instead of one. 3.

Your hard developed domain can be hijacked by your ISP or the person doing registration for you. Not all are bad. Some may be lazy only. They have already typed their details that can be auto filled in to registration forms. But this is their problem. You should insist your name and contact email on Contact Information. Mostly used fields are: Registrant Contact Information, Administrative Contact Information, Technical Contact Information, Billing Contact Information. 2. Anything Other Than Dot Com for Business Web Domain Name Registration If you are registering a domain name for business purposes then make sure you get it in dot com like "YouDomainName.com". There are many reasons for this like it is the default extension in user minds and in most browsers. If you get say "YouDomainName.Net" then you would be one-way sharing your traffic with "YouDomainName.com" which is not a good idea. 1.
