Choosing a Domain Name

April 18, 2013 by DreamPix

Your domain name can hugely impact the way people and robots perceive your website. Likewise, not owning a domain name and not having online visibility will also affect how potential customers perceive you.

What makes a good Domain name?

  1. It should be memorable. Short & easy to spell. Keywords and search terms are ideal. Generic words are invaluable but don’t be afraid to add a twist.
  2. .com continues to be the extension of choice.
  3. Some sites, like Yahoo, list websites in alphabetical order therefore domain names that begin with ABC as opposed to XYZ are preferred.
  4. Avoid using dashes or clever numbers to replace words it is confusing and inhibits search-ability.
  5. Register your domain quickly as the competition is stiff and the domain seems to disappear overnight.

Where is the best place to purchase a domain name? While there are many options my go-to source is Go Daddy.  They have inexpensive package deals, lots of promo codes, and good customer service comparatively.
