Tips on Choosing a Good Domain Name

Before you choose your domain name or name your website, consider the following points:

Your domain name is the name of your website

Use the same domain name as site name. When people talk about your website, they'll talk about its name.

Generic Names Or Brand Name Domains?
The very name that you use to advertise your product is the name that you will want for your domain, because that is the first thing that people will try in their browser. It is also the easiest for them to remember.

Long or Short Domain Names?

There is some disagreement about what is better.

Shorter domain names are easier to remember. They're easier to type and far less susceptible to mistakes: for example,
Longer domain names are easier in the human memory.

Hyphenated Names?

Disadvantages

• Many people forget hyphens when typing a name.
• When people recommend your site to their friends verbally, hyphens in your domain name lead to more potential errors.
• It's annoying to type.

Advantages

• Search engines can distinguish your keywords better.
• Maybe the non-hyphenated form is no longer available.

Plurals, "The", and "My" Forms of the Domain Name

Avoid suffixes or prefixes. People forget to add this to your URL.
