What are domain names?

Zen and the Art of Triathlon

Have you ever thought about competing in a triathlon? It's easy to get lost in triathlon training. There are the three disciplines of swimming, biking and running, and there is also nutrition, rest, and core strength. Brett Blankner is a triathlete himself who also coaches others not to waste time with complicated equipment and unproductive workouts, but to get out there and do it. If you're considering the multisport life, or if you're already living it, take advantage of the tips and philosophy imparted by Brett in this innovative training podcast.

What if the domain name you want is already taken?

If you cannot find the exact domain name you want, using a quality searching service such as that found on the GoDaddy.com website, enables you to see alternative domains should the precise one you are seeking not be available.

There are a range of Top Level Domains (TLDs) which you can choose from, such as .com, .net, .org, .tv, and many others, many of which are specific to a particular country (such as .co.uk for the UK, or .us for the USA). It is important to use the correct domain search site in order to get the broadest range of options if you cannot discover the name you are looking for.

How to protect your chosen domain name

Most people aim first for the .com domain of their choice. That leaves several other domains with other extensions but the same name. You should consider buying all the TLD domain extensions for your chosen name, ensuring that you own all possible variations on your domain so that others cannot set up a similar website.
