Things To Keep In Mind While Picking Domain Name For Registration

Follow the below steps that can help you in picking the perfect domain name.

 

• Ensure It Is Easy To Type

Choosing a domain name that can be easily typed on browser address bar plays an important role in success. It’s better to avoid the combination of words that ends and starts with the same letter (infoonweb) or with multiple spellings (sea vs. see, in vs inn). This can be harder to memorize and find your presence on the web.

 

• Try To Keep It Short

Remember this. If the domain name is lengthy and complex, it welcomes the risk of mistyping or misspelling. Keeping it short and simple is the best way to go.  The total number of characters we suggest for a domain name is 6 to 8. But it is almost impossible to find a domain name (if you had tried already) of that length.  So, the other option is to go for 8 to 12 characters length with meaningful and easy to say words.  This later helps in word of mouth publicity. Example InfoInBulk.com

 

• Use The Keywords That Represent Your Business

Try to find keywords that better describes your business, services or blog and use them. For example, if you’re into handmade products business, you may want to register HandMadeAdda.com. Usage of such keywords not only makes sense to the visitors but also improves your ranking in search engine giants’ database.

 

• Area Of Target

It is not a bad idea to include your city or state in your domain name if your business is related to local or a specific region. It helps in targeting the customers of that region.

 

• Do NOT Use Numbers and Hyphens Unless It Is Necessary

Numbers and hyphens are frequently misinterpreted. The public who hear your web site don’t recognize whether you’re using a numeral (3) or it’s spelled out (three) or they misplace or fail to recall the dash. Only use the hyphens in certain situations like the example.  Example: expertsexchange. Is it expert-exchange or expert-sex-change? In this case, there is a chance search engines can misunderstood the meaning of your domain while analyzing. Using of different variations would be a good idea instead of going for hyphens as there are chances few search engines consider them as spam websites.

 

• Try To Make It Catchy and Memorable

Making domain names that are catchy and memorable is crucial as there are millions of registered domain names. So share it with close friends to make sure it sounds pleasing and makes sense to others.

 

• Research It

Don’t select a domain name that is either trademarked, copyrighted or being used by another company. It can result in a huge lawful mess.

 

• Use Suitable Website Extensions

Website extensions are suffixes, such as .com or .org, at the end of a domain name. Each of them has specific purpose, so make sure to pick one that suits to your need. The .com extensions are far and the most popular, but it is hard to get a short and memorable .com domain name because it’s been around for so long.  Other than .com domain extension, you may use following set of new extensions like .cab, .deals and .events.
