Domains are a pain to pick, it always seems that the good ones are taken. However here are some great tips I have for creating a domain that is right for you.

  • Be creative
  • Keep it relevant
  • .com it!

Be Creative

Coming up with a domain is hard work, but you don’t need to limit yourself to obvious words. Google.com is (believe it or not) a typo, it was going to be registered as Googol. Try and avoid common domains words (such as design, games and free) as this could lead to greater composition in your rankings.

Keep it relevant

If you website is about web hosting, make sure you have something about hosting in the name. Don’t what ever you do call it something completely irrelevant such as newtech or easypeazy, as this could making initial rankings hard to come by.

.com it!

If you have ever saw an average user at work they never seems to notice that you can have different extensions to a domain. In fact I was once telling something about a website (which ending in the .co.uk tld) and when they went to type it in they put sitename.co.uk.com. It could be that I work with tech-tards alot, but it’s safe to assume that if you can’t get your domain as a .com, it’s not worth the time.

And don’t forget, you can easily register your domain (in a large variety of different tlds) with XDnet so you can easily manage it within our client panel.

Check if your domain is available and get registering!
