Is it possible to change your website’s domain name?

You can spend a lifetime trying to get the perfect domain name. You know – easy to type, short, memorable, with the keywords that describe your business – the list is endless. Time spent doesn’t guarantee the satisfaction of the name. Could be your perfect domain name is already taken making you settle for less. When you’re finally able to register it after the initial registrant gets too sloppy, how do you go about the domain change?

• Draw the client’s interest: A relevant domain name will help attract to the clients. While clients are looking for a service or product online, they are likely to open a domain name that has keywords relating to what they are searching.
