If you
wish to have a presence on the web, your Domain Name is one of the
most important decisions you will need to make. We offer these tips:
Business Name
Try
to incorporate your business/personal name into your web address
name. (ie. inwiz.com = Internet Wizards)
Make
the name easy to remember
Try
to obtain a catchy phrase, something easy for people to remember.
This helps the customer remember your web address without difficulty.
Use
Keywords.
If
possible, incorporate a keyword relating to the products or
services that your business offers. The closer the match to
the product or service the more traffic your website will have.
Dot
what? .com .net .org?
There
are many different extensions available right now. If you are
a business, we recommend a .com suffix. It is the first extension
that most people try when searching for a site. Also, since
it is one of the oldest extensions, .com shows that your business
has been around for a while and has a well established presence
on the web.
One
may not be enough.
Sometimes,
it isn’t a bad idea to register several similar domain names.
If you have "yourname.com", register "yourname.net" so no one
else takes it. You can register your full company and a shorter,
easier to remember version. Some people even register common
misspellings of their company’s name.
Ask around
When
you have settled on several available name choices, see what
your friends and clients have to say. A name that may make perfect
sense to you may be too hard for other people to remember. Is
your domain easy to say? Is it hard to spell? Do you have to
explain why you chose the name?
Inwiz.com
offers domain registration for a low, affordable price.
