In this article we will discuss
about, How To choose A Great Domain Name For Your Website.
Firstly, when you have decided to
choose a domain name you should choose a domain name with .com extension
which is helpful for Seo. If you are targeting Indian viewers to come to
your website then choosing .in is great decision but, if you are
targeting global viewers then you have to choose a generic/global top level
domain (gTLD). The most global top level domain and easily rememberable one
is .com.
And you should not choose a
domain name which is after your name (like satishkumar.com, gunasekhar.com)
instead of branded name(like allcooltricks.com). Domain name
after your name is is good but not recommended, If you are a Poet,
Author this will help you because your name is a brand name in this
context.
Now-a-days we are not able to get great
domain names because all are been taken. But if you want it at any cause
you have to spend some thousands or lakhs in some cases it might be deal of
crores.
For
choosing a great domain name for your website, you have to follow some tips:
1) Your Domain name should be
Unique. Don't go for regular names.
2) Do not choose a Domain name
which is having different characters and if you are to run a website in English
you should not include Spanish or German characters in the Domain name.
And also take care by not choosing homophones (like newclothes -
knewclothes ,kloth - cloth).
3) Domain name should be easy to
pronounce. Your friends or viewers should not trouble in pronouncing while
their discussion and also well pronounced name will be remembered easily. For
example lkghkfdvyfev.com is the difficulty in pronouncing names.
4) You should not choose a long
name because it is a tough job to remember such long names.For example Tipsaboutcaringhorsessheepsgoatshensanddonkeys.com.
Although it is a meaningful one you should not choose a long Domain
name. Make it as short as possible.
5) The Domain name should be
resembling your context. If you are running a website about Technology
and if you choose domain name as sarithashealthandbeautytipsadda.com
it would be some what funny.
And also if you are to target
international viewers you have to choose .com, .net, .org,
.biz or any other gTLD's. This will improve your website seo
because you are targeting global audience.
