    Post How do I decide on a domain name?

    Hi,

    I've tried to covered that particular question in a lot of detail. But basically, you want a name with these characteristics:
    # Descriptive: Use your company name or a description of your product instead of company initials. People would instantly know what a site called "stumble Upon " is about (although they might be suspicious). The full title is much more descriptive than the acronym "SU."
    # Short : The maximum allowed size is 63 characters, but keep the name as short a possible. That's easier to type and remember
    # Memorable : Names with special characters like hyphens and underbars are harder to describe to customers over the phone. Visitors aren't as used to them either and you may inadvertently send customers to your competitors if they have similar names without special characters!

    Try to get one with keywords in it. That way you will get better rankings in google for particular keywords. Try to go with .com or .net

    I personally would go for something simple and with the main keyword in the domain.

    Look for domains with a keyword related to your niche.
    Also try to find a short one, the shortest is your domain, the better is for you.

    Most people prefer (.)com domains and this true. most users use (.)com by default and find it easy to remember.


    Try to ask some friends about your domains and how do they find it before you buy it, a second opinion is always helpful.

    Go for domain name that is catchy, it is somewhat related to your site objective and can easily remembered by people.
