Domain lookup

.com is still king

People instinctively type .com when they hear a name. If you can get your name with .com, do it. It gives you the most professional first impression.

Keep it simple

Your first and last name together (janedoe.com) is the easiest for employers and clients to remember and find. No hyphens, no numbers.

Cloudflare and Porkbun are cheapest

Cloudflare charges at cost with no markup. Porkbun is consistently among the cheapest and includes free WHOIS privacy on every domain.

Watch for renewal prices

GoDaddy often runs $1 first-year deals but charges much more at renewal. Always check the renewal price before you buy, not just the intro offer.

Skip the upsells

You only need the domain itself. Skip hosting, email, SSL certificates, and website builders. Veinmark handles your website and we walk you through connecting your domain.

.me and .co are solid backups

If your .com is taken, .me is personal and memorable. .co is a common professional alternative. Both are widely recognized and much cheaper than .io.
