Thread: How to choose a domain – 7 simple steps

So you’re thinking about buying yourself a domain and start the development of your project. Before you go shopping, follow these easy steps in order to get yourself a domain that could do the trick:

• Find an easy to type and memorable domain. Going for a 20 letters one could be hard for people to remember, so they might better jump to the next website related to your niche. Therefore, keep your domain as short as it can be.
• Using hyphens and numbers always started controversies. Is it good? Is it bad for SEO? Better avoid domains that contain hyphens and numbers, go for a cleaner one containing only letters.
• Use a domain selection tool to simplify your search.
• Be out of the ordinary. Try new keywords that could become an unique brand. There are hundreds of examples to analyze.
• Always be careful for *********. xNike123.com is a no-no!
• Is your keyword already taken? You could try a mixture from two keywords that suit you, just do some research and start “sticking” keywords. Try to keep it to a maximum 3 keywords, going with a domain that contains more than 3 words could be a tricky thing.
• Whatever you say, a .com is always a best choice!
