The question is often asked but the answer is not that straightforward. A lot of people prefer to choose a domain name right at the moment when they decide to go into business. However, many wait till they have created a concrete business plan. Still many would like to wait and see the product completed before they rush to domain name registrar.

Different groups we just mentioned give their own reasoning for their choice. Each one argues about pros and cons of their own timing.

Early jumpers say they would want to capitalize on their timing lest the name should become unavailable in future. The other group says they would want every thing to be in place before they try the domain name registration. Things might need to be revised, they mention.

If you ask me, a domain name should be registered after you have made a clear business plan and do not expect any further changes thereof. Once you are clear what business you are going to do, you should go and register the domain name related to your business.
