What is Domain Name? Tips to choose the Perfect Domain.

[reddyash]

Domain Names are nothing but business or website name. It is also known as the address for web users to visit your business or personal website because its really difficult to remember IP addresses. The IP Address that is assigned to your website is translated to domain name, which is easy to remember.

Tips for choosing the perfect Domain Name:
1. Keep it short (easier to remember)
2. Avoid numbers and special charecteristics.
3. Try naming using the same Niche words. For Example If I want to start a Community for web hosting industry, then I would name my domain names to be as bestwebhosting.community, webhosting.community or besthosting.community.
4. If your website targets globally then its better to choose .com TLD. If your website is targeting only a specific country say United States then I would choose .us TLD's.

It always good to research a domain name and be sure it isn't taken,it should be targeted at ones niche and the name must be what can be remembered in no time and then easy to type and appropriate extension should be added to it.The name should just be unique.

This is exactly what I'm trying to decide on right now for my Japan based food and travel blog. Trying to think of something punchy, memorable and to the point! The tips you mentioned were very helpful.
The hardest thing I'm finding right now is to pick a name that someone else hasn't already chosen that is still short, sweet, and to the point. I've got to keep thinking, since some of the ones I've liked have already been taken by other people!

A domain name is the perfect name given to a site to distinguish it from other sites and as such before one come up with a name more research which be done to be sure the name be used is still available and the name should relate to the niche and theme of the site for easy identification.

In my opinion, a good domain name can describe exactly your product or service, and the audience remember it easily.

A domain name is your website name. A domain name is the address where Internet users can access your website. A domain name is used for finding and identifying computers on the Internet. Computers use IP addresses, which are a series of number.

Thank you for the tips, I've been a dumb before because I didn't had any idea how to pick a good domain. I bought 2 domain names a year ago and I planned to sell it for a profit but unluckily, it didn't sold. I appraised it, asked people on a forum if that domain name was worth to spend a hundred bucks to but, they told me its a no good domain. I suppose I'm too bad at picking a name. Maybe I'm missing something..
