Tips for choosing a domain

What makes a great domain name

Choosing the right domain is critical for your website. When combined with the right extension, it becomes even more powerful.

Relevant

Your domain name should be connected to your brand, business, and web content. It should give visitors a clear idea of what to expect when they land on your site.

Memorable

Domain names should be both easy to remember and stand out from the crowd. Avoid using complex or confusing words that are hard to spell.

Short

Shorter domains are generally easier to remember and type. Avoid using unnecessary words or hyphens that can make your domain name hard to remember.

On-brand

Your domain name and extension is an opportunity to reinforce your brand identity. Extensions and TLDs specific to your industry can enhance the relevance and credibility of your website.
