1. Make it Easy to Type
Finding a domain name that's easy to type is critical. If you use slang, or words with multiple spellings, it may be harder for customers to find your website or add stigma to your website.
2. Keep it simple and short
If your domain name is long and complex, you risk customers mistyping and (or) misspelling it.
3. Use Keywords
Try potentially using keywords that describe your business and services you offer. This helps customers to link your company with what you do.
4. Avoid Numbers and Hyphens
Numbers and hyphens are often misunderstood.
5. Do Your Research
Make sure the name you have selected is not already trademarked, copyrighted or being used by another company. If it is that could result in a legal mess that would be best to avoid, or you would risk loosing your domain completely.
6. Use an Appropriate Domain Name Extension
Extensions are suffixes, such as .COM or .NET, at the end of Web addresses. These can have specific uses, so make sure to choose one that works for your business. Some examples of ones used today are;
• .co : an abbreviation for company, commerce, and community
• .info : informational sites
• .net : technical, Internet infrastructure sites
• .org : non-commercial organizations and non-profits
• .biz : business or commercial use, like ecommerce sites
• .me : blogs, resumes or personal sites
Tip: You don't need to build a website for every domain. To avoid creating multiple sites forward any additional domains to your primary website. It would however be wise to purchase the domains for all additional websites extensions to avoid others using your websites name with a different extension.
