How to Choose Your Domain Name?
Your domain
name is often one of the first impressions that users have of your digital
presence. Is it really necessary to mention that it becomes imperative to make
a good impression?
Your domain
name should reflect your business. For example IOS App Development In UAE. It must be able to attract interest
and attract clicks, without being too original. It must still be able to
remember! And conversely, your domain name should not be too simple and
indifferent; it might go unnoticed. So how to choose a good domain name?
The first 3 steps
The first step is that of research.
take the time to think about it. What do you
want to convey as an image? Something classic, timeless and effective is
obviously preferred. A domain name can follow you for dozens and dozens of
years, so take the time to make a wise choice.
The second step is a brainstorm or a storm of thoughts if you prefer.
It is at this stage that you take out all the
ideas that go through your head. You can even write them down somewhere, so you
do not miss out on the idea of the century!
The third and last stage is that of creation.
that's when
you test your different ideas. How do I write such a word, is it necessary to
use such a keyword, etc.? Do not be afraid to try several similar options or
ask for advice. This could simplify your choice and help you see something you
missed.
A few tips
Here are
some tips to help you find the perfect domain name for you:
Choose short and effective
Although a
domain name can have up to 60 characters, it is much more efficient to choose a
domain name that is below the 20-character mark. In fact, whenever possible,
always opt for something concise, so as to avoid errors of typing or spelling.
The longer your domain name is, the greater the margin of error when it comes
to typing it in the search bar of your browser. You would not want people to be
redirected to another site, which is not yours, is it? For example, if your
company is working in the App Development field, consider substituting the term
simply by "APP". Much more efficient, much shorter and much more
concise.
Easy to understand, read and write
Whenever
possible, try to choose simple words with a standard spelling. Also, here are
some tips to try to ensure readability or understanding of your domain name;
spell it out, read it aloud, ask someone else to spell it without reading it,
say it several times, and so on. These few tips will help you realize if
something is wrong in your domain name. For example, if you chose
4rinekonstruction.com as your domain name, but nobody except you can write it
correctly, it may be a sign that your domain name needs to be rethought ...
Avoid dashes, numbers, and symbols
Try to avoid
as much as possible characters other than letters in your domain name. However,
if you cannot avoid the numbers because the name of your company has, it
remains understandable. On the other hand, if you just want to make fantasy
with the numbers, think twice...
Delete Inc.
In a domain
name, it is not necessary to add the "Inc.“ This only adds characters and length to your
domain name.
Use keywords
If that's
okay, consider adding a keyword to your domain name. Warning! There is no
question of using it as you use hashtags! For example, if you have a Marketing
named at Digital remember to add, worlddigitalnetwork.com as a domain name. In the UAE, without this little
keyword, it could lead to confusion...
One last point of attention!
So, do not
forget to pay special attention to the following two points; spelling errors
and existing marks. As you want to be taken seriously, it is important not to
make spelling errors in your domain name. Especially since this name will
follow you for many years in most cases! Make sure you check the spelling of
each word and check for any typing errors.
Then, make
sure that your domain name does not contain any trademarks or is not a copy of
an already existing domain name. This is considered plagiarism and could even
lead to prosecution ... Take all the necessary precautions, and you will have a
clear conscience.
