The domain name is the “web address” you will need to host a site. For example the domain name of this site is wdci.ca. We also own walkingdolphins.com and walkingdolphins.ca. Whenever possible you want to own the domains for both the dot com and and your own country code unless you live in the United States. Dot u-s  (.us) domains are not widely used. Depending on the level of competition in your particular business area, it is often also wise to register the dot net domains.

Obtaining a domain name can be a bit like peering into the vastness of the galaxy.

Just like anyone can use a telescope, domain name research and acquisition can be done by anyone. It comes down to time and trust.

The challenge is that there are so many stars out there, which ones are available and which ones will match your needs or convey your special message?

Time is the main resource applied since it  is rare that the exact domain name you want is available. Sometimes it is available but must be purchased from an existing owner. More often it will be in active use by someone else.

Walking Dolphins Consultancy Inc. will receive your instructions via a brief set of questions and then research a good list of alternatives from which you can choose. We sometimes propose names that were not part of your original thinking at all. Those can be some golden moments.

You can do it your own if you are able to devote the time. Check out our Domain Do It Yourself Guide for free instruction.

Or at the lowest prices around, you can have Walking  Dolphins do it for you.
