Domain Names - 4 Important Tips to Remember When Choosing a Good Domain Name
By Sharon Zolna
If you are interested in having a growing website business, you will need to understand the importance of a good
domain name. Your domain name is your website's address on the internet.
The extension to the domain name tells the
visitors if you are a business, an organization, or a government agency. For example, ".com" indicates a commercial
website, ".org" is used for an organization's website, ".gov" is used for a government agency, and ".edu"
is used for an educational institution.
Shown below are 4 easy tips to help you in choosing the best domain name for
your website:
1. Make your name explanatory - show your visitors the nature of your website. For example, if your site
is about seashells, use a pertinent keyword in your domain name, such as "seashell," or "shells" to help
identify the type of site you have.
2. Make your name easy to remember - Help you visitor to recall the name of your
site. A name that is long or complicated makes it that much harder for visitors to remember and therefore they may not be
able to return to your site. And don't forget -- every time someone visits your site, you have a potential sale!
3.
Make your name shorter rather than longer - A short, descriptive name is easier to remember and easier for visitors to type
in their web browser. Having a shorter name also makes it easier for telephone callers to hear and understand your name when
you answer the phone. However, many of the shorter, catchy names have already been taken, so you may have to be creative!
4.
Make your name easy to pronounce - The simpler your website name, the easier it will be for visitors to spell it. And don't
forget - you'll be speaking your website name on the telephone, so you want your listener to be able to easily understand
it.
Your Domain Name is a very important part of your website business. Make sure you make it easy for customers to
remember for return visits.
