Domain Name Registration
THE 2C WAY
Domain name registration is the essential first step in establishing your online identity. It involves selecting and registering a unique domain name that serves as your website’s address on the internet.
With millions of domain names already in use, finding the perfect one that represents your brand, business, or personal identity is getting harder and harder. With that in mind, we offer the advice below, and are happy to help you research if you aren’t finding what you want.
8 Rules for Good Domain Names
- Choose the Right Extension: If you are a business, choose a .com domain name, and if you are a non-profit organization, choose a .org domain name. If you are an educational organization choose an .edu domain name. Don’t settle for .net, .info, .biz domain names. They don’t look professional.
- Keep it Simple: Choose a domain name that is easy to spell, pronounce, and remember. Avoid complex or lengthy names that may confuse visitors.
- Be Relevant: Select a domain name that reflects your brand, business, or website content. Ensure it communicates what your website is about.
- Use Keywords: Incorporate relevant keywords into your domain name to improve search engine visibility and attract your target audience.
- Avoid Hyphens and Numbers: Hyphens and numbers can make a domain name harder to remember and type. Aim for a clean, alphanumeric domain name.
- Think Long-Term: Choose a domain name that will remain relevant and effective as your website grows and evolves. Avoid niche-specific or trendy names that may become outdated.
- Brandability: Aim for a domain name that is brandable and memorable. It should evoke positive associations and resonate with your target audience.
- Keep it Legal: Ensure your domain name doesn’t violate any trademark or copyright laws. Perform a trademark search to avoid legal issues down the line.
