Can I transfer a domain name to OVHcloud? Find a domain name for your business Choosing a domain name can be a tricky task. Several hundred million domain names are already reserved, and used worldwide — so you need to consider whether the domain name you choose is available, and how relevant it is to your project. If the domain you want already has a domain owner, you will need to find an alternative internet domain so that your web users can find you. Otherwise, you can find out about domain ownership details via a domain Whois search, then get in touch with the current owner to check whether you can buy a domain name off them. You can find more details on this below, in the ‘domain name market’ section below. Generally, a generic domain name with competitive keywords will already be reserved, or it may only be available on the secondary market — further information on this is also available below. For this reason, when you register your brand, it is important to ensure that your trade name or company name is available to reserve as a domain name. It is usually the easiest name to assign to your web address, and one that your visitors will easily remember. Keep in mind that your domain name should be short, and easy to understand — it must be memorable for visitors and customers. You can reserve several domain names and subdomains to suit your web-presence, and redirect to the server your website is hosted on. The domain name market Of the hundreds of millions of domain names that are already in circulation, some are very popular. There is a secondary market for the purchase of domain names put up for sale by their current holders. The most generic domains can sell at very high prices, depending on the sector they are linked to. The price is set by the seller, and generally takes the commercial potential of this domain name into account. One of the most popular SEO strategies is to buy back a domain name, which enables the new holder to benefit from its longevity.
