How to choose a Domain name?

Posted by admin - 28/07/09 at 02:07 am

Include the most important keywords of your products or services if possible into your domain name. For example if you are providing electrical services, you can use electrical or electro keyword in your domain name.

Always avoid numbers, hyphens in Domain names.
Avoid Domain names which have more than 10 characters.
Avoid generic names like business.com,search.com, contrary to popular belief these generic names don’t do well because they don’t have any uniqueness associated with the domain name(exception is buy.com, but remember buy.com has spent millions of dollars on advertising both on online media and print media).
Your domain name should be easily pronounceable if possible combination of two words.
Tools like domain name generator can be used to create domain names and also you can check what domain names are available.

Do research on which key word brings more traffic to your website so that you can include that keyword in the domain.
Avoid including your city name in the domain, because if your business grows to other regions it may have a little disadvantage when you want to market into other areas.
