types of domain extensions, cheap domain name registrationThinking of getting into the domain name selling business? It's a fun way to make a few extra dollars, and it's pretty easy, too. You need a fertile imagination, a credit card you feel safe using online, and a knowledge of the types of domain extensions and what they might be worth. The different types of domain extensions factor a great deal into the price you can get for your domain.

The .com are the the most coveted ones, and fetch the highest prices. Next is .net. The shortest URL's are also the best. They should also be easy to spell and remember. The broader the audience appeal, the better. A one word domain is the best, but they are hard to come by; two words is OK, and three words, as long as they are easy to spell and make sense sequentially are also fine. Four words or longer is getting pretty long, but if they have the .com extension, you might be OK.

It costs less than $10 a year for cheap domain name registration, so if you like sitting around thinking up fun website names, get your feet wet with a URL or two, and see what happens.
