An Alternative for your Home Based Business Domain

Thursday, July 10 2008

If you have tried to get website for your home based business, you know that you have to start with a domain name. If you've tried to get a '.com' domain lately, you know it's become pretty slim pickings. This is especially true if you want a shorter domain name.

Now available is a spin on the '.com' domain available for people in the United States. It's called the 'us.com' option. For example, frankross.com has been taken (he was an artist who died in 1992 but whose legacy lives on via the website). I could choose a 'us.com' option and it would be frankross.us.com.

So if your choice of domain names is not available in '.com' try it with the '.us.com' and perhaps you will find more options available.
