Let us run through the most comprehensive and accurate Domain name selection checklist:
Pick a short domain name
The domain name must not only be short but also pronounceable with ease. Avoid complicating the domain name; keep it as simple and relatable as possible. Using abbreviations in the name is a complete no.
Keep it easy to type
Your website’s name is going to be propagated as word of mouth too. Choose it wisely enough so that it does not need extreme effort while people try to spell it out. Complicated misspelled words can lead to losing your potential clients to competition.
Make it keyword rich:
Using a keyword in the Domain name is a good SEO practice. Around 63% of the highest ranking websites in any business type have a keyword in the Domain name. It is one aspect to get traffic before you event starts building any optimized content.
Check the copyright:
A copied domain name is the worst thing you could do. Although the domain name providers like SuperGlobalHost do run an availability check every time a domain name is registered, you must stay watchful about it.
