What can I do if the domain name I want has already been registered?

Registrations

Domain Name Options

If your preferred domain name is already taken, consider the following alternatives to secure your online presence:

  • Backorder the Domain: If the name is registered elsewhere, you may be able to place a backorder to acquire it if it expires.
  • Try Variations: Explore different versions of your name (e.g., adding a prefix or a hyphen).
  • Check Other Extensions: If .com is unavailable, try professional alternatives such as:
    • .biz
    • .info
    • .net
    • .org

Trademark Check: Before finalizing your choice, keep in mind that some names may be trademarked. Ensure your domain name does not infringe on existing intellectual property.
