I am wondering if besides owning my domain name, should I copyright the actual name of the site? If my site is called mysite.com. Could I go to http://www.copyright.gov/ and copyright mysite?Or do I need to do nothing? What would be best if someone was to try and steal my website name?
Copyright my website name. Is this possible?
copyright
What you really want for that is more likely a trademark or servicemark.  Copyright protects the content of a given work and a URL/site name is too short to copyright.(http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/faq-protect.html#title explains that you cannot copyright names, titles, and slogans).You can start here (assuming you are in the USA by your copyright.gov) link.http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/index.jsp
