How to choose a Domain Name
When picking domain names, try to choose a memorable and appropriate name that will make it easier for people to find you. You may want to choose targeted keywords, so people know exactly what you’re about, or you may want to create a new word which would be both distinctive and unusual. Whatever you decide, here are some tips when it comes to deciding:
- Keep the domain name short
- Make sure your domain name is easy to pronounce and spell
- Choose your top-level domain level domain extension carefully (more below)
Which top-level domain extension should I pick?
Nothing says ‘British’ more than a .uk domain name! The .uk umbrella of domain names includes the new direct .uk, .co.uk, .me.uk, .org.uk and more; and what’s great about all of them is that they instantly highlight a UK website, giving greater value and focus to a UK audience.
There are a range of other domain extensions which may be a better fit for your business, such as the popular .com, .net and .org. Many people are surprised to find out about all the other extensions that are available to be registered too. Some domain extensions are dedicated to specific purposes, like.MOBI, for mobile websites. Other extensions are dedicated to specific industries like.TRAVEL, for the travel industry or.JOBS for the recruitment and HR sector.
Beyond these “generic” top level domains (gTLDs) there are also country code top level domains (ccTLDs) to represent specific countries, like .IN for India or .JP for Japan. Some ccTLDs have restrictions on them, but many can be registered by anyone in the world. Some ccTLDs have been repurposed to be used more generically, like .TV which is the extension for the country Tuvalu. (Yes, it is true, we are not kidding, have a look https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuvalu ). This extension has been repurposed to represent websites that feature video (or TV style) media.
The World’s most popular domain
Born in 1985 along with the Internet, .com is now the largest gTLD (generic Top Level Domain) in the World. Originally meant for .commercial purposes, with its global appeal you can use .com for pretty much anything!
Plus, .com is also the most assumed domain extension by users and browsers, so if you don’t want to miss out on any opportunities, you should secure your .com domain name today.
