Register your domain name... What to register?
When registering your domain name, consider registering different top level domains,
eg, whatever.com, whatever.net, whatever.org, whatever.tv, etc. This may become important in preventing competitors from stealing traffic from you by registering alternative domain endings.

potential visitors to remember and properly spell your domain name. Some search engines also
rate sites better when hypens are used. As an example, several different domain names will
bring you back to this site:
