Keep Your Domain Name Short – this tip is very simple to understand why, because, short names will be very easy for the visitors to remember. Although some places allow its users to register a name that is up to 63 characters, one must think of their visitor’s ability to have their domain easy to remember and type into the web browser or search engine. Keeping your domain name under seven characters and have it associated with our web site’s niche, is the best thing to do to keep it easy for your visitors to visit and remember.
The Right Extension – today, extensions for domain names vary for each site niche. To create a professional impression, one is advised to choose a dot com extension as this is the oldest form extension ever made, thus this will create an impression that a website already exist for a while and has well-established presence on the web. In addition, when one searches for a website, the dot com extension always comes first on his or her mind. However, today various extensions like .edu, .org, .tv, and more are already available for those websites with specialized niche.
Avoid Trademark Name – this is a no-brainer. Aside from it being not nice at all, this will really get you into a big trouble. Today, many of the companies do not want to spend their precious time taking their back on their hands, but rather, they already hand it over to their lawyers.
Register your domain ASAP – we all know that millions of internet users and marketers around the globe are thinking like yours, thus domains can easily be snatched in an instant. That is why it is important that you will register your desired domain as soon as possible. Not unless if you wanted to settle for less or like wanted to land with those domains that no one wanted to own.
Register two or more similar domain – this may not be a bad idea, as this will prevent other from stealing the name that you have in mind. Some even have registered their full company name, registered a shorter easier to remember one, and some common misspellings. If you think this can be complicated, you are wrong, as one can register different domain names and have it pointed on to the same one single website.
When registering a domain, one must keep in mind that only letters, numbers, and dashes are allowed. Special characters and spaces are not allowed. Domains are also not case sensitive at all.
After you have come up with a domain name, have a short survey with your friends and know if they find it easy to remember, say, type, or remember. In this way, you will have a clear picture of how your visitors will think of your website.
