A Domain Name is your Internet address. Domain Names are usually comprised of a persons, or company’s, name followed by an Internet extension (i.e., .com, .net, .biz, etc.). They may be proceeded by a www, or not.

Some samples of Domain Names are:

It is very important to have your own Domain Name, or Internet address, because it will drive prospective sellers and buyers to your ActiveMLS™ Agent Web Site, where you can pick-up leads through Schedule a Showing, on your automated Property Brochures and through your e-mail links, and contact information.

The best way to market using your Internet address is to include your Domain Name on all business cards, in all your correspondence, on your yard signs, in all of your home magazine and newspaper advertising, and in your e-mail signature

Although all ActiveMLS™ agents already have an URL for their Agent Web Site, it is normally very long (i.e., companyname.com/cgi-bin/agent.pl?id=1johndemo). By registering a short, and memorable Domain Name (i.e., toledorealtor.com, metrohoustonhomes.com, etc.) that can be redirected to your ActiveMLS™ agent URL, you can more easily promote your site using all of the above promotional vehicles.

The best way to research the availability of a Domain Name is to go to the ActiveMLS™ DOMAIN SEARCH and perform a search for your desired Domain Name(s). Once you have found a Domain Name that is available for registration, you can click on the Register A Domain Name Button, and fill out and submit the on-line ActiveMLS™ DOMAIN REGISTRATION FORM. If you have already done a search on another site, and know that the Domain Name is available, just check the appropriate box on this registration form!
