How to Choose a New Domain Name

Are you planning to start a new niche? You are probably looking forward to buy a new domain right now but it is not the domain that you like and desiring for. Just like with this website, it is really difficult to find a good domain. Luckily, I found this through a website that suggests a name based on the criteria that you have selected.

With the boom of internet, everyone is registering a domain name and selling it for a higher price. This is where marketers are making money on the internet. You will be lucky if you can find a good domain as of today at the time I write this article.

5 Tips in Selecting a New Domain Name

  1. It must be unique
  2. Do not choose a related domain that is already popular. For instance, you will buy the domain best-domain.com when you are aware that the domain bestdomain.com exists. If your website becomes popular, people will most likely prefer bestdomain.com instead of yours.

  3. Prefer the Dot-Com domain
  4. Sometimes I am being tempted to buy a domain that is not a Dot-Com. Well, if you notice, most of the popular website is having a Dot-Com domain and not Dot-Net or the like. So avoid this one and only choose Dot-Com.

  5. Easy to remember and memorize
  6. A domain name that is more appropriate to choose must be easy to remember and can be memorize. Don’t buy a domain that is more than 10 characters and are not of usual words.

  7. Easy to type
  8. Use only a noun and not an acronym. Acronym is good only if you can buy a domain that is four characters in length. But I bet it is difficult to find it and you can’t just easily but it.

  9. Avoid domain name with a brand
  10. Googlelady.com is an example of this. The founder cannot advertise Google Adsense on her website because of the brand name on her domain. Another branded domain to avoid is Amazon. You are not allowed to buy a domain that has Amazon embedded.
