Your domain name is how visitors easily find you online. It is often the first step in getting your website started because it is like establishing your website’s street address on the internet. If you did not have a domain name, you would have to give out your IP address to everyone who wanted to visit your website, which would get confusing and be easily forgotten.

Domain registrars are the companies responsible for registering and managing domain names for all websites around the world. There are a plethora of Domain Registrars, and choosing one can be difficult. 

In this article, we will show you how to choose the best domain registrar by comparing their pros and cons.

Top 5 Things to Watch Out for When Choosing a Domain Name Registrar

You can go register domains at any domain registrars but there are some key factors to consider before making a purchase. A few are listed below:

Domain extension availability – do they sell the extension you are looking for?

Not all registrars sell all domains (top-level domains i.e TLDs –e.g.: .com, .org, .info, .edu, .co, etc.). And some extensions are only available at certain registrars that may not sell other services you need for your domain and website.

Pricing

We didn’t want to make this number one because we are a firm believer of “you get what you pay for” but also a realist in that we know a lot of people are looking at the cost of their domains. When you decide on the extension you want look at pricing. Registrars are free to price the domain extension at whatever price they want.

Marketing frequency – Some registrars send a lot of emails/ make a lot of phone calls/etc. to see if you want to buy other services they offer.

Sometimes this is a good thing if you are new to domains/web hosting and don’t know what you need. If you get a call about the registrar’s SEO services and aren’t seeing the traffic you were hoping for maybe they can help you. On the other hand if you know exactly what you need, buy it and still get these calls and emails you may be a little irritated.

Ancillary services – Do you need/Do they sell other services?

A domain is just that, just the domain name. Not the hosting/SEO/code behind the website/email marketing/etc. Do you need those other things? if you do it may or may not be easier for you to buy your domain from a registrar that offers all of those services.

Service and Support

Some registrars are very willing to spend a ton of time working with every end user to get set up and for issues along the way. Some aren’t. Where do you fall on that spectrum? Typically a registrar doesn’t make a ton of money on a domain registration but they make up margin when they sell their other products. And some promise a totally seamless and easy experience so this isn’t an issue.
