A good Domain Name for your Website.

Now a day, having a website for business is very much helpful to grow dramatically. There are also many other fields for which people are creating websites like information, entertainment, blogging, online trainings etc.
But selecting a right domain name is very important. Here are few useful points, which we need to consider while selecting a domain name


Related to your field/business
It is very important to select a domain name related to your application or business field. Some people choose domain names with their own names, funky words, popular sites names etc. These kind of domain names always give a bad impact on their product. For example if someone have a website for dental care and he give it a name like www.jackpaul.com , then a person who looking for a dentist will not prefer it. But if the domain name have a work like doctor, clinic, dentist then user must prefer it i.e. www.paulclinic.com is a good domain name for a doctor.




Domain name length
Length of a domain name matter a lot. Users always looking for one or two words long domain names. Long domain names are also not search friendly. Also its hard to memorize long domain names. So always try to choose domain name having one or two keywords long



Keyword search
Always try to check the chosen keywords which you selected for your domain name with any online keyword density checker tools. It will help you to select a better keyword for your domain name. You can check that, how much searches coming for a particular keyword and how much competition have for that keyword from other websites



Domain suggestion tools
There are many good domain suggestion tools which can help you to find an available domain name on internet. These tools helps you to find a domain name with different expressions i.e. by adding dash in between, with different TLD (top-level domain), synonyms of your selected keywords etc. I am personally using www.domainsbot.com for selecting a domain name for myself. It is really a power tools to select a domain, having many good options



TLD (top-level domain) preference
Try to select appropriate top-level domain name for ur product or business. If you are creating a regional website, you can select a TLD with country name i.e. www.abc.in for India, www.abc.us for United States. Users always give more preference to visit a local website name for business websites or shopping websites etc. If you are working with a website related to information you can select .info TLD.
Here you can find all top-level domains list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...-level_domains



Don’t copy name of other popular websites by changing some letters, adding dashes or by changing TLD. It will also give a bad impact on your product or business. Surely it can give your website to get search traffic but users don’t like this. Most of the times users know about original websites and it effects same like when you saw a duplicate shoe of a branded company in the market.
