Best practises for selecting a Domain Name.
The best domain names are short, memorable, on-brand, and can even boost your rankings in online search. To choose a domain name, try using your business name first. If that isn’t possible, experiment with alternatives or leverage online tools to find the perfect fit. When you have one in mind, choose the right extension, check availability, and then register your domain. So while selecting a domain name think on the points mentioned below before finalising your domain name, if possible.
Length: The shorter, the better. Domain Names should possibly be short and easy to remember. Shorter domain makes the user search easily in the internet. They have better visibility in the internet.
Hyphens: Avoid chosing a domain name with a hyphen in between or any where. Hyphens in a domain name will reduce credibility.
Numbers: Numbers are not a good idea in a domain. It confuses users whether to spell the number or to use numeral for it.
Intuitive: Domain names should be highly intuitive. They should give an idea of the business. They should reflect your whole idea of going internet. That is its hould be a close match for the product / services / company / organisation / idea for which you are chosing the internet/web market.
Extensions: For your DOmain Name try to go for extension (TLD) that best suits the work of your organisation. Country specific (ccTLD's) are helpful if you wish to target geo-located audience.
Do not forget to renew your domain names before expiry to avoid loss of domain and to avoid late fee charges.
