Create blog domain name

When you create a hosted blog, your blog’s address, or Uniform Resource Locator (URL), will display as part of the particular blogging platform you’re on. For example, if you’re using WordPress, your blog address will be in the format http://myblog.wordpress.com, and if it’s on Blogger, it will be in the format http://myblog.blogspot.com . While this is fine to leave as is, many blog owners prefer to have their own domain show as their blog address: http://www.mybusinessblog.com or www.mybusiness.com/blog.html if they want their blog to be part of their main website. For business blog owners especially, having your own domain as your blog address looks more professional, and it allows you to create a better brand association between your blog and your website. This brand reinforcement carries over if you’re listing your blog on other places such as your Facebook page or even on printed marketing material such as brochures and business cards.
If you want your blog to have its own domain name, you’ll first need to purchase the web address you want. The cost will depend first on whether the domain name is available: if you buy a domain name that someone else owns, the price you’ll pay depends on how much the seller is willing to sell it for, which in turn depends on how much of a demand there is for that domain. If you buy a domain that isn’t owned by anyone straight from a domain register from Iboobo Web Design, you’ll pay much less. Domain names that end in .com are also usually more popular than other endings, like .net or .biz, so you’ll pay more for a .com domain than one that ends with .net. As a general estimate, an unused .com domain bought from Iboobo web design will cost you about hundreds plus per year. You can also buy domain names directly through your blogging platform if you have a WordPress or Blogger blog.
Once you’ve bought your domain name, you’ll need to link it to the standard address that your blog was created with (for example, http://myblog.blogspot.com) . You do this by changing the DNS settings for your domain name so that they point to the server where your blog is hosted (the process is simple and well documented by both domain registrars and blogging tools). Once you’ve updated the server settings, you may have to wait several hours for the change to take effect.
