Be Smart About Your Domain Name
Ready to Launch your Website?
Here’s what you need to know.... !
FIRST: The Domain Name is Born
In 1983 the Domain Name System (DNS) was invented so people did not have to remember a long string of awkward numbers. !
SECOND: Domain Extension Options Multiplied
Since 1998, Domain Extensions or Top Level Domains (TLDs) help to structure the internet. !
There’s a lot of TLD choices - close to 300 and growing. !
Third: Anatomy of a Website

aka Top Level Domain (TLD)!
Overwhelmed? Follow these Rules of Thumb
Start by identifying the domain name that will set your business up for success. Worry about the domain extension (TLD) later. !
Trust us on this. !
Brandable vs. Discoverable (That is the question.)
Will your budget allow you the luxury of creating awareness about
your domain name?!
Will you rely on keyword-rich words & phrases to get you website found in organic search results?!

Well, actually, the real questions are: !
First Impressions Count
Choosing your domain name is one of the most important decisions you will make for your on-line business presence.!
Keep it... SHORT & SWEET
A domain name can contain up to 67 characters !(letters, numbers & hyphens). !
Although we don’t recommend it.!

Keep it... EASY TO REMEMBER
Choosing a domain name that is easy to remember can help increase traffic to your site. !
Keep it... EASY TO SPELL & PRONOUNCE
Get creative, but remember, your domain name should be easy to say and understand in conversation. Your domain name should also be easy to spell
and difficult to misspell. !
Keep it... RELEVANT
Including keywords that describe your service or product will increase your organic ranking on search tools such as !
Google or Yahoo.!
Keep it... LEGAL
If you register a domain name that is the same or similar to another company’s trademark, the company that owns that trademark may be
able to force you to transfer or stop using the domain name. !
