He would say that those seeking out a domain name should make sure that the domain was legitimate and not a rip-off because you can run into those. Check for any coupons on the sites that may be available before going through with a purchase, but once you make it, do with your domain what you will. Just make sure you have all the data you need on the website that meets what you’re setting out to do because if you have nothing to show for, you will not generate the traffic you need to have a successful online business.
