Domain Name Tips

Tips for Selecting a Good Domain Name

Selection of a good domain name is a critical stage in the development of your web site. We can work with you to select a domain name (www.yourname.com) that works best to represent you. Some say that all the good domain names are not taken. We don't necessarily agree, but it is getting more difficult to register good domain names.

A good domain name will allow your web site visitors to immediately recognize your business or organization in a manner consistent with your existing branding efforts.

OUR TOP DOMAIN SELECTION TIPS:

1. Easy to Remember - make it easy for your visitors to remember.

2. Relevant - a good domain name relates to your business or purpose.

3. Easy to Say - your domain should be easy to say and understand.

4. Easy to Spell - avoid hard to spell words, or register the misspellings also.

5. Early in alphabet - an early letter in the alphabet helps with directory listings.

6. Shorter Names - shorter names are easier to remember and type.

7. Keywords - when possible, include your business name or keywords.

8. Protect Your Rights - ensure that your domain name is not registered to any third party.

9. Domain Registrar - Registration of your domain name should cost no more than $10.00 per year.

10. Domain Extensions - Generally, we recommend using .com, .net or .org for most of our clients.
