Are there any risks to be aware on in obtaining a domain name?

Answer 1

Strictly speaking, the worst trouble you can get into is picking something that can be read incorrectly - see the links below. I always think these are hilarious.

One other thing, and I only just learned this: If you run a check on MyDaddy.com or a similar site, and you don't buy the domain immediately, they apparently buy the domain name themselves. Then it can cost you three times as much to buy it when you come back. My advice is to make up a list of what you like, check them all, and grab them up quickly.

Good luck!

Answer 2

There is no risk to obtaining a domain name. However, avoid a domain name that may be infringing upon copyrights or trademarks. For example, you probably shouldn't get a domain name that is also trademarked/copyrighted. But chances are the domain name is already taken.

Hello Andy

Well Let me tell you a little bit about Domain names... Every Internet Company needs a domain name to present itself on the Internet.
.com, .net., .gov. etc... You catch my drift...

Without it You will exist on the web. The only risks I can tell you about is that you purchase a really expensive one, with high monthly costs.

I can tell you about a website who hosting domain Free
