Choosing The Right Domain Name
So, you've reached a decision that you are going to set up a website.
One of the first steps to take before you start dealing with questions about the construction of sites and all the rest is Domain Name, choosing the right one and registering it.
First, some basics. A domain name is actually an address from which surfers will come to your site.
When choosing a domain name take into account some important aspects before deciding whether to purchase the domain.
Choose a domain name that would reflects your future site's main subject.
Beyond all other domain name should reflect the theme of your site.
If your business is selling boots is likely to not want to choose a domain such as myshop.com not say anything on the subject of your site but something more like a reflection myboots.com
Domain name containing the keywords of your site
Another important consideration is your keywords.
Try to find a domain name that contains relevant search term for your site.
Search term is any combination of two or more words surfers may type in the search engine to look for the information they may find on your site.
Easy-to-remember domain name
With all the millions of existing sites on the web today it's very important to have an easy to remember domain name.
Pick out something catchy, combining the keywords you that you are in the right direction.
Choosing a domain name TLD
TLD Is a word that appears right after the domain name, such as com, net, org etc. These are just a few examples of the many individual options that are available today.
Rule of thumb is to always there to find good, available .com domain name, and quickly register it.
Avoid using digits
Though it is sometimes tempting to choose very catchy domain name like come2me.com This can cause a number of issues.
One of the most common issues in the possibility to create confusion among users. There is a possibility someone will come to another computer remember your site's name, but type in cometome.com and reach a different site.
A bit confusing, so maybe it is better to avoid that.
Avoid using a dashs or underscores
As in the previous section on digits domain name registration here as well there is a possibility to create confusion among users.
Yes, there are thousands of examples of successful sites with domain names including digits or hyphen but most sites are likely to lose volume of incoming traffic as a result of a dash or two or writing 'four' instead of instead of 4 and so on.
Avoid using initials and abbreviations
True, IBM and-CNN succeed in spite of that. Still they went against this general rule that, in most cases companies would be difficult to reproduce the same success.
The average human brain finds it harder to remember initials and abbreviations.
'Was it sef.com or spf.com??'- It is hard to remember.
Your users may become confused, make a mistake in one of the letters and lose contact with your site.
Avoid domain names that are too long
Although most people are aware of the importance of that, there may still be found across the Internet domain name that are so long that I am not even sure the owners know or remember how to spell them.
Try to find a domain name that is as short as possible to help users to remember and avoid the lower possibility slip type.
Short good domain names are a rare commodity and may need weeks or even months to find an available one.
Make sure you so not violate trademarks
Claims of unauthorized use of trademarks are very expensive business and could result in your new business missing the financial means to protect yourself.
Just before registering domain names check if there is no commercial use by another company.

Finally (was a little longer this time):

Try to arrange a list of about 10 - 12 possible names that match the rules specified here and choose from a list that the best option.
