The name of a website is what we called as a domain name and all websites have a name like www.smartnetzone.com. This is a name which points to the space on web server where our files of the website is placed.This is what we call as domain name.
Choosing the best domain name for your business is very important.A best name can accelerate the pace of growth of your business.Domain names can end with .com, .net, .org, .info, .us, .biz, .tv and many more,this is known as extensions.The most used among these is .com.This is considered to be universal and most countries have their own domain extensions like .in for india .om for oman and .au for australia.We have to choose domain extension before choosing doamin name.
First of all don't pick a name that has nothing to do with your Web site. If you are selling shoes don't pick a name like cake.com. Picking an different name makes no sense and it will just confuse your audience and search engine.
Register a name that conatains major keywords.For example you are planning a site for website development company, it would be better to choose webdesign or webdevelopment in the domain name such as webdesignspot.com.This can be easily found in search engine and it will be very useful for you.
If you choose a domain name which is not a keyword then you have to advertise your domain than advertising your business,its very difficult for non keyword names bring traffic to site.
Don't make your new domain name too long. The longer it is the harder it becomes to remember. Can you remember myshoes.com or lookatmyshoeswebsite.com?
Am not saying that short domain names are best.the point is that its easy to remember, for your benefit always try to buy a domain name that has few keywords that relates to your business.
In most cases you dont get the preferred domains.most popular domains are already taken by someone.In those scenario you can use hyphens in the name itself.The domain name webdesigners.com might be already taken where as web-designers.com might be available.
You can buy cheap domains from many providers
I usually buy from ipage and godaddy
Try to avoid abbrevetions while choosing domain name such as webdevelopmentcompany.com as wdc.com, its difficult to remember these short domain names and most people dont know what the site is for and what the abbrevetion for wdc.
Try to choose a name that can be easily remembered and also need to have a perfect keyword so that it can be easily remembered.
Finally if you want to protect your domain name register all extensions mainly(.net and .org)so that your competitors cant buy that domain.
So consider these things before choosing a domain.Wishing you guys to select a good domain name.
