Here are some guidelines and tips to help you select the best domain name for you: Keep it short. The shorter, the better. It’s best to keep your domain name less than 15 characters if possible. A shorter name is easier for people to remember and it also reduces the likelihood that your visitor will mistype it or misspell it. For example, BuyIt.com is much less likely to be mistyped than isellthispleasebuyitfrommetoday.com.
Keep it sweet. The more memorable the name, the easier it is for people to remember. You can have the best site in the world, but if people can’t remember your domain name it will cut down on your return visitors. It’s hard enough to get traffic on the Web without “losing” visitors that want to come back but can’t find you.
Keep it simple. Make sure the domain name is easy for people to spell. Don't spell words unusually. Unless you have incredible branding, people will type in the common spelling of your domain and your competition will get visitors who were looking for you. For example, BlueRight.com is much better than BluRite.com Choose a domain name that reflects your business. Don’t just choose a random name. For example, if you market your Web store to people interested in horses, you should choose a name that has the word “horses” in it such as HorseWebHosting.com. Or, your domain name should refer to horses in some way, like WhoaWebhosting.com. The former will help you in the search engines. The latter will be memorable. When in doubt, choose a .com. If you are debating between several different top-level domains, go with the .com. It’s what most people think of when they are typing in a domain name. It’s true the best names are gone, but you can still find a good .com domain if you look. Thousands of .com names expire and are released back in the market each month so there is always a steady supply of new domains coming into the market. Find your domain name with SecureDomain.eu |
