Selecting the Best Domain Name

Session Description

A domain name becomes your identity on the internet. For example, everyone knows that www.amazon.com directs you to an online retailer and that www.google.com directs you to online searching. To get your own domain name for your online website, you need to obtain a license for it from a domain name registrar.

EZ-NetTools is a domain name registrar. As a result you can purchase your domain name through EZ-NetTools and we will configure the domain name for you. We will also remind you when it is time to renew your domain name. Note: you can purchase and manage your domain name yourself, if you wish and are knowledgeable enough to do so.
