Use Descriptive KeywordsDescriptive domain names may or may not be the actual name of your company, but they do describe what you do. Shorter is better Long URLs are hard for people to remember – and even harder to type. Avoid anything over 15 characters if you can!Avoid slurls Before buying a domain name, double check that it doesn’t spell something potentially misleading or funny (for example, the website for WhoRepresents.com, a celebrity agency finder, can be mistaken for WhorePresents.com)! Pick Your Domain Extension Sure, “.com” is the most common, easy to remember domain extension. But a .com domain extension can also be pricey and limiting (because there are already so many registered domains out there). Consider using an alternate domain extension, like .org (if you’re an organization), .net, .co, .biz, or .info. Do not let a domain extension box you into a less-than-ideal domain name. |
