15 tips for choosing a domain name<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Use a keyword that describes your site:<\/strong> A keyword helps visitors and search engines understand what your site is about. You can also build the name on your own name or your business name.<\/li>\n
  2. Keep it short:<\/strong> Short names are easier to remember, type and share.<\/li>\n
  3. Think about your audience:<\/strong> Use words your target customers know and use.<\/li>\n
  4. Make it easy to spell:<\/strong> Avoid complex words, unusual spellings and long names.<\/li>\n
  5. Reflect what you do:<\/strong> A name that expresses your activity is clearer to visitors.<\/li>\n
  6. Avoid names close to famous brands:<\/strong> Imitation can hurt your reputation and cause legal problems.<\/li>\n
  7. Avoid numbers and hyphens:<\/strong> They make the name harder to say, type and remember.<\/li>\n
  8. Make it brandable:<\/strong> Choose a distinctive name that sounds like a brand.<\/li>\n
  9. Make it future-proof:<\/strong> Don’t tie the name to something that may change as your business grows.<\/li>\n
  10. Protect your brand:<\/strong> Register similar names and the same name in other extensions.<\/li>\n
  11. Use domain name generators:<\/strong> Tools that suggest available names can help when you are stuck.<\/li>\n
  12. Check social media handles:<\/strong> Make sure the name is free on the social networks you use, and reserve it.<\/li>\n
  13. Check the name’s history:<\/strong> A previously used domain may be blacklisted or have a bad history in search engines.<\/li>\n
  14. Test it with people:<\/strong> Say it to friends and customers; if they remember and spell it easily, it’s a good sign.<\/li>\n
  15. Register it quickly:<\/strong> Good names are taken every minute; once you are sure, register it right away.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
