Hints & Tips - Choosing A Domain Name

Getting the right domain name for your business is becoming harder as all the single words and common company domains have probably been registered. Ideally you need the domain name to be as short as possible, so it is memorable and easy to type into a browser. There are ways around these problems. Start by trying some of these solutions...

• Try to keep the name short and descriptive
• Identify keywords that describe your business/interest to help create a useful name
• If you have difficulty coming up with useful domain name add a prefix or suffix to a keyword

• Try hyphenating (-) your keywords
• Consider the singular and plural forms of the domain name
• Search for generic words associated with your business/products e.g. coffee.co.uk
• Once you have found a good domain name buy up all the alternatives e.g. .COM,.CO.UK
• Do not register trademarked names unless you are the trademark holder
• Do not "tailgate" off a trademarked domain name e.g. amazonforkids.co.uk

If a domain you like is available register it straight away, if you don't you may be disappointed.
