Once you are comfortable with working online, you should buy a domain name for your site or sites. Domain name registration, if you do it right, is one of the key components of having your site rate high in the search engines. The right domain name is memorable, and can get your site to rank higher than other names. The wrong domain name won’t do you any good at all.
The Basics of Domain Name Registration
The first thing you have to do is come up with a good domain name for registration. Don’t even think about a one-word domain name; they’re all gone at this point. Instead, come up with dual-word combinations. If you’re putting together a professional site, try your name before anything else.
Don’t get fancy with spelling when selecting your domain name registration, or use 2s and 8s to represent their sounds. You can try the number 1; that sometimes works. You can also try the names of products you offer, or a description of your site content offerings: Redwine, sportweekly, shoemaker. Memorable is always better; short and memorable is best, but very difficult to accomplish.
Come up with a couple of dozen names that will do for your site, and test them on a registry. Don’t buy a domain name for which the .com extension is gone, but you have access to the .net or .info. These domain names are not by any means as valuable as the .com. If you pick up the .com, though, and you expect the site to be lucrative or have a lot of competition, it’s not a bad idea to pick up the other extensions as well. Domain name registration is NOT expensive, and if you register in bulk you can get an even better price.
The .NG Extension
This doesn’t mean you should avoid anything but .com. If you have a business in Nigeria, you have access to the .ng domain name set, which Nigerian customers are likely to look at before anything else for NG-specific businesses.
If you anticipate most of your business will come from Nigerian customers who are aware your business is in Nigeria, the .ng extension may be a better choice than the .com.
If you’re fortunate enough to find both extensions for your domain open, and if you run a Nigerian company, it doesn’t cost much to buy them both, and you definitely should.
It also gives your online presence an immediate “identity” geographically which can be crucial in building online relationships- where trust is a key component. By buying a .NG domain, you are very likely to gain Nigerian clients.
Tips for Domain Name Registration
Have a website ready to plunk into your domain as soon as you buy it, and submit it immediately to the search engines. The search engines take time to index new sites and your domain name registration is only as valuable as the search engines make it.
You can also have more than one domain name pointing at a single site. If you’ve bought multiple extensions for your domain name (as in the previously-suggested .com/.ng combination), you can set up your site under one domain name and then direct traffic from the others to the main site. This is called web traffic forwarding and has been around for years. It may be as simple as parking your domain name on a server and putting a line of code on the page, or as complex as going through another website to use their online web forwarding services.
When you do register a domain and start building traffic to it, go out and renew for multiple years before your renewal is due. It is surprisingly easy to forget to register your domain name on time, and if someone else sneaks in and registers it, you’ve just lost a ton of work on that domain.
By making your domain name memorable, you will help other webmasters remember your site easily when building anchor texts on their links- a crucial component of SEO.
Final tip: don’t just think about price when looking for a domain registration company- also think about quality of service. While you shouldn’t be paying over the odds, it really is better to be safe than sorry and go with the more established registrars. Then you can have peace of mind that should any problems arise, you will be well looked after.

it looks good but It would have been better if it contains what you will have on your site. like ebookclub.com, you would expect to get ebooks or books. but your domain is not like that.
and the only word I can grab from this domain is quest. the other I'm not sure.
Or is that your name?

That's how little you understand it, but actually it contains 2 words: quest + techie, and in case you don't know techie means someone who is tech savvy.
