We want to help you choose the right domain name for your project. It's an undertaking worth serious consideration. The right domain name can greatly influence your web presence. Internet users will remember your website by your domain name. Here are some quick tips for choosing the one that is just right for your online venture.
Pick a Memorable Domain Name
Let's say you want to create on online presence for your offline lug nuts business. Your business is named "Doug's Lugs." The best way to transfer your offline name recognition and make sure your customers can locate you online is to check with a domain name registrar to see if your existing business name is available. If you're not fortunate enough to grab the name of your choice, think of something else appropriate. Maybe there's a catch phrase that you use like "Lugs R Us." A catchy but relevant name will leave a lasting impression on those who visit your site making it easier for them to remember how to get to you when they want to return. While you're able to register a name up to 63 characters, the shorter the better. Long names are harder to remember and easier for users to make errors when they type it into the address bar.
Register a Similar Domain Name
If you have it within your budget and really want to make an all-out effort to protect your brand, consider registering a hyphenated variation of your domain name or one with another extension. Some crafty individuals called "typo squatters" have made it their business to register domain names that are close to the names of high traffic sites. They bank on obtaining site traffic from errors made by users incorrectly typing in a domain name. You can keep all your intended traffic as well as protect your prospective site visitors from these types of opportunists by registering these names yourself.
Keyword vs. "Brandable"
The debate rages on as to whether or not keyword domain names are better picks than "brandable" names like Amazon or Google. What's most important is that your name is appropriate for your business and goals. Proponents of keyword names point to evidence that they are given more weight by search engines as they are more relevant to the content of your site and the term or keyword a searcher is looking for. Keywords that are relevant to your site are more memorable. However, if you have the budget and the inclination to build your business brand, either will be appropriate options for you.
Choosing a Domain Extension
The consensus is clear that the .com domain extension rules the roost. It represents commercial enterprises on the web and is the most popular even for non-commercial sites. However, .com is not the only option and you may want to think about what is the best for your project. If you have a non-profit organization, .org, which stands for organization is an appropriate one to choose. Other extensions like .net and .biz have garnered a lot of attention, but have never caught on like the .com extension. If at all possible try to secure one of them, even if you have to pick a variation of your name, like a hyphenated version.
