Some Tips on Getting a Great Domain Name
After selling over a million domains, we've learned a few things...
Use our Domains Search Tool
Get domain availabilities, prices, and even suggestions by using our Domains Search Tool.
Keep it Concise
The maximum length of a domain name is 253 characters…the sites most of us visit are way less. Keep it simple to stay memorable.
Reserve Your Name
Personal domain names are a good +1 to your owned domains. Use your own name as a property to forward visitors to sites you want associated with yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
We recommend transferring your domain to DreamHost, so you can manage your entire website in one location.
As background, ICANN, the governing body for domain names, mandates that all domain registrars publish the personal contact information of domain registrants in the public WHOIS database. Email and phone scammers scrape and collect this information for spam, scams, and identity theft.
Domain Privacy prevents these spammers from collecting your personal info. DreamHost's complementary (yes it's free for the life of your domain) Domain Privacy service works by masksing your personal information in the WHOIS database with DreamHost's corporate information, so you're protected from unscrupulous marketers, spammers, robo-callers, junk mailers, and stalkers.
We believe you should be able to control how much of your personal information is shared online. That's why we include WHOIS Domain Privacy free for the life of your domain registration (not just the first year).
Compare us to our competitors who charge $14/yr. and more for private registration, (even more than the price of the domain!) and see how much you can save by registering your domains at DreamHost.
Many of our customers save hundreds of dollars each year in private registration costs by transferring existing domains from their current domain registrar or hosting company to DreamHost. Over time, these fees really add up, and consolidating all your domains at DreamHost can help save you money long term.
