1. The best thing to do before you sign up for website hosting is buy your domain name yourself
Alot of the web hosting companies now offer free domain names if you sign up a domain hosting account with them. This usually sounds like a great offer until you decide to leave the hosting firm and then tell you they own the name. Dont risk it buy your name yourself
2. Choose a domain name that reflects your desired website
For example if your website is about free online games then ‘GameVilla.com‘ may be a good fit or if your site is about dental jobs ‘DentalJob.org‘ may be a good choice.
3. Select a domain name that contain your sites key words
like the example above the game site has the word GAMEvilla.com and the dental job site has the word DENTALJOB.org.
4. Select a domain name that is easy to remember
‘2dental.com‘ is definitely easy to remember and short.
5. Dont use long domain names
Long domain names are just to hard to remember. Try to find a name that is as short as possible and to the point.
6. Do not use dashes in your domain name
Like I mentioned above it is more work to tell someone your domain name when you have a dash involved. Best if you can find a name with out it.
7. Try not to use abbrevations in your domain name
Well known companies like AT and T can get away with ATT.com but it does not work for most websites. As a general rule, avoid using abbreviations or anything that will be difficult for your visitors to remember.
8. Buy .com .net or .org
There a ton of domain name extensions out there and there will be more comming. The best thing to do is buy the orginal three as those are the extension that has been embedded into our brains from the start.
9. Use good domain name company
Buy your names from a good domain name company like 2Budget.com. They offer great service, phone support, lots of free things with a domain name purchase of $7.85/year. Another great reason to use 2Budget.com is the fact that they offer Smart Search which allows you to find variations of a word or domain name by adding popular prefixes, suffixes, dashes or related keywords to your existing search.
