Choosing Your Domain Name
There have been quite a few times when I have registered a domain name on a whim and regretted the domain name I chose. What’s worse is not realizing how bad the domain name is until you have printed 1000 copies of a brochure that advertises your new website.
You should always first imagine telling someone over the phone what your domain name is. The domain name should be easily understood and easy to remember. Keeping it simple is always best and the shorter the better.
Chances are you will choose what you think is the perfect domain name only to find out that name is already registered by someone else. You should have a couple of choices in mind before searching.
When all your choices are taken you should begin to think creatively, yet practically. Choose descriptive words or a simple catch-phrase that is relevant to your site.
There are some things you should not do when deciding on your domain name. Don’t use a name that may be trademarked. Avoid numbers and hyphens. Your domain name should not be misspelled – even if you intended it to be misspelled. You probably won’t get very many visits to your site with a misspelled domain name.
Once you have decided on a few domain names visit www.hostingbytabitha.com and start your domain name search. You can register a domain name for only $9.99/year. Your domain name comes with many extras such as a free email account with 1 GB of storage, a quick Blogcast and more.
