The most obvious choice would be the name of
your company, like Great Books could be www.greatbooks.com
If it is taken, then you have to get creative.
If those books are books on flowers maybe you would want www.flowerbooks.com.
You should also consider choosing a domain name that features
the keywords people will use in a search engine to find you.
The name can be up to 63 letters and may
contain numbers and dashes. The only valid characters
for a domain name are letters, numbers and a hyphen. Special
characters like the underscore (_) or an exclamation mark (!)
are NOT permitted. Domain names cannot contain spaces or begin
or end with a hyphen.
You will need an active e-mail account to register
a new domain name.
Domain names take several days to register
and transferring domains may take up to a week.
