What is the best time to register a domain?

When is the best time to register a domain? After you've built the site or before you build the site. AFAIK you should register the domain with search engines right after you buy it so it can crawl your sites and give you extra page views. But if I leave it too late to buy it, I might lose the domain?

If you can get it cheap register it now - you don't have to use it, and the yearly registration is a pittance compared to trying to buy it after someone squatted it
