So, you know what you want to sell and how you want to layout your website, but you are still struggling with choosing the right domain name. You are not alone; believe it or not this can actually be one of the biggest decisions besides choosing a web host that you can make when it comes to your business.
You want the best name for your business. One that relates to what you do and will grab attention. You are probably interested in it having a .com on the end as well. Most people want this and quite often the name you want is taken. If you are wondering if the .com part is that big of a deal then you need to read on.
The thing is with a domain name is that when you buy the domain name you also should buy all the different versions of that name. If you start a business that sells hand painted shoes and the name has .com, you don't want your popularity to cause someone to take your name and put it on a .net. They could easily steal your customers this way. So you need to get the .com and .net versions of your name. This is not a big deal if the name is similar to another site that sells unrelated items. Your customers will know they are at the wrong site.
There are few things to think about when getting your name together. You definitely don't want words that people misspell a lot. that is bad news for your name. It is smart to make up a name that people will relate to you. You want the name to be somewhat descriptive of what you offer. One more thing is name length. The longer you make it the more that people will make mistakes with it. So don't use more than three words.
The two biggest decisions with your online business are the domain name and the web host. Take all the time you need for these two. You will have much less aggravation later if you do. A business is tough enough already. Don't make it harder on yourself.
