A domain name is the name of your site\/brand\/startup through which anyone can access your site globally. Just like Google has Google.com and Fb has Facebook.com.<\/p>\n When you buy hosting to host your WordPress or any website, as we discussed<\/a> yesterday, you only get the space that holds your website files, but for anyone to open your website, you need to buy a domain name. You can try different registrars like Godaddy<\/a>, Dynadot<\/a>, and NameCheap<\/a> to register a domain name for yourself.<\/p>\n TLD means Top Level Domain. E.g. .com, .net, .org are termed as most used TLDs.<\/p>\n Let’s discuss some tips for selecting a friendly, picky & creative domain name. Many beginners are not aware of how important a domain name can be. Keywords, branding, length, which TLD? These are the issues that need discussion. So, let’s get the conversation started.<\/p>\n If you are planning to buy a domain name for some organization, go for .org. Working on some information-related project, then .info will be the best option. The .com domain, on the other hand, has some particular importance.<\/p>\n Advice : Go for .com, it works in most of the cases & it ranks very well in the search engine.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Keywords are essential when you think of hitting a particular Niche. An excellent keyword with moderate competition might get you tremendous traffic. E.g., if you register a domain downloadgooglechrome.com, it will surely start ranking very well for such a standard set of keywords if pursued correctly.<\/p>\n I guess one can get up to 500,000+ unique traffic in a month for such a domain name once it starts ranking. So, it seems pretty nice Yay, Nay? But the issue is finding such domains is not easy. All such simple keywords are not available and are already registered. From SEO (Search Engine Optimization) perspective, such domains can consistently rank better if one properly uses them and not spam.<\/p>\n Branding is critical to thinking about Yahoo & Google. Do they look like keywords? No? These are brand names; branding is an essential aspect of a startup. There is always a vacancy at the top. Why not be that much creative to engage your visitors? Being creative is tricky; it takes a lot of time, but uniqueness pays very well.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Advice: Either go for a good brandish name or register yourself a domain with some perfect keywords in it, which can help your business grow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Domain’s look and feel are sometimes very much critical. Suppose you select a niche with a keyword in your domain. You cannot find a precisely matched domain, so you think to go for the keyword with a hyphen. This is a good option. Hyphens have no harmful impact on your domain name.<\/p>\n These hyphens may even save you a lot of trouble. E.g., if you buy a domain pressshop.com, it becomes pretty confusing, whereas press-shop.com seems better. The same is the case with kidsexchange.com, i.e., kids-exchange.com (Pun intended).<\/p>\n Many domain registrars are selling their services and claiming to be the best.
