| This is
the core - how do you choose a domain name that will serve you for
years ? Changing domain name means all the money that you invested
in its promotion going down the drain !
Let us examine
possible factors that go into choosing the right domain name for
your site :
- Availability
- Meaningfulness
- Easy to Remember
- Hard to misspell
Your Internet Address (Domain Name) should reflect what you and
your web site are all about. This is decidedly the most difficult
decision you have to make. Begin by evaluating what you are marketing
on your web site. Secondly create a list of possible URLs. Try to
keep it as simple as possible or easy to remember. Even a long name
is OK, if it reflects your business or what you are trying to present.
(For example: A name such as howtoexport.com is a long name but
easy to remember and certainly would explain what your site is all
about.)
The next step is to check on availability. If you think you have
come up with the one and only perfect name for your web site, you
may find that it has already been taken. Be prepared with several
acceptable possibilities then check the availability at whois database.
The whois database will give you up to the minute availability of
your desired URL. |
