To start your online journey, you need to buy domain name first as without a domain name your website could not be hosted.
Unique domain names are essential for creating an impact among the end users as it makes them believe that the company is professional in its terms. Domain names should be chosen after much consideration as they cannot be changed easily in the future. The Internet has seen growth in usage by almost 200% since the last two decades and new websites get designed and hosted on a daily basis with every website possessing a unique domain name.
Generally it is seen as a good practice to use the business’s name as the domain name as well, if the business name is too long then shorten it appropriately as URL with short domain names are easier to remember and hence users are attracted more to it. Alternatively, select a domain name which suits the niche market which you are targeting. Another good idea is to creatively utilize element names which are directly related to the services offered by the company, for example if you wish to develop an adventure sports website you can choose appropriate domain name like – thrillseekers.com. Whatever might your business or company be about, be sure to include targeted keywords in the domain name as it creates a positive impact on the end user’s mind. Domain names are the most vital elements when creating a digital presence for any business as it makes the process of branding easier for the company . It is generally seen that companies with long domain names find it difficult to market their services in front of the target audience.
Once a final decision has been achieved on which domain name is to be used, then the second most important element is the extension for the website. Website Extensions are written after the domain names like .com, .net, .in, .org etc. The most popularly used domain extension is ‘.com’, it is recognized throughout the world and it is easier in comparison to brand a product with this extension. Oftentimes .biz will be used by companies, whilst .net is normally used by networking sites and some hosting or software companies. Always refrain from using .info domain names as they are not taken seriously in the online world and are generally considered to be scam sites or websites with incorrect details. If your company’s primary target is the local audiences then select your country specific domain extensions as it helps the people connect easily with your brand and services.
As you can witness it yourself, it is not really difficult to choose a domain name for personal website. All you need to keep in mind when selecting your domain name is the fact that it should be easy to remember and should not be out of context from what your services are related to, along with that it should be easily pronounceable.
