Tips
for Choosing Your Domain Name:
-
Use
your company name if possible instead of a "slogan"
name, like bestprice.com.
-
Try
adding a dash. For example, mycompany.com may be taken,
but my-company.com may be available.
-
Consider
using .NET instead of .COM. The .NET extension used to be
reserved for Internet Service Providers and other network
providers, but now it is more common for other businesses to
use the .NET extension. Even though mycompany.com may not be
available, it is likely that mycompany.net will be available.
-
Try .BIZ This is a newer extension. Many good names are still available. It works just like .COM anywhere in the world and is intended for business websites.
-
Shorter
names are preferred. This tip won't help you find a name,
but it will help your customers and your marketing department. Try to avoid
using long names like www.InterGalacticPropulsionIncorporated.com. A name like igpinc.com may fit easier on your stationery.
