How to choose a Domain Name?

A short domain name makes it easier for you to share and is clearer to remember.

Use your unique brand name as your domain name. Have a domain name that is easy for your audience to recognize.

If your domain name looks good when you write it, that may not be the case when you say it out loud.

When buying a domain name for your business, you should consider the domain’s long-term importance as the business grows.

When registering a domain, you should register the same domain with different TLDs like .com .net, etc., to help protect your brand.

Domain hacks integrate the TLD into the domain name. Some examples are BadC.at or Foc.us.

It would be best not to use a hyphen in your domain name. Hyphens make it more challenging to share your domain and remember it.

Run your domain name through copyright databases. Searching for existing trademarks could save you headaches in the future.

Search for your domain within the “Wayback Machine” – archive of all websites. It allows you to see if your domain was previously used.

Helpful keywords in your domain name can help explain your business to your audience.

Check and register Social Media Handles to make sure they are available for the domain name you want.

There are hundreds of TLD options. Each has a unique purpose:
 .com TLD (commerce)
 .net TLD (network)
 .biz – business websites
 .info – informational websites
 .org – non-profit organizations
 .me – personal websites
 .blog – for bloggers
 .io – start-up companies
