Rule #1: Short
Why short?
Firstly, most people cannot remember long domain name. Secondly, long domain name is prone to typo when people type into their browser.
Some so-called experts said that a domain name should be long so that it clearly speaks out what the website is selling.
Well, this is true. But it may not be preferable because as mentioned earlier, long domain name is hard to remember and prone to typo. Agree?
Hence, if you want your website to be flooded with visitors, you should follow the trend instead of going against.
Many people are complaining that it's hard to get a short domain name nowadays. Well, not true. If you think hard enough and stretch your creativity, you'll find one. Really.
Hey, why not you try this... enter "expired domain name" in the search engines and do a search for it?
By doing so, you may find the right domain name for your website from the list of expired domain names, if not, you can get some inspiration out of them and come up on your own with a very unique name for your website.
Rule #2: Logical
Two ways: one is to coin a domain name that logically ties in with what your website is selling, another way is to simply make your domain name the same as your company name.
For example, if you sell ebooks online, you should register ebooks dot whatever extension you like (preferably dot com because it's still the most popular extension todate).
Or if your company name is called Example Pte Ltd, you should register "example.com". Period.
Rule #3: Spell Check
You MUST always check the domain name for any spelling error before you proceed to the order form and buy (register).
For your info, even if you registered a misspelled domain name (for instance, you intend to register "example.com" but ended up you registered "exmple.com" ¨C you missed out an ¡®a'), you're still able to get a refund as long as you do not exceed the 5-day refund period for domain registration.
(Note: Generally, accredited domain registrars offer you a 5-day refund, but some may have a different refund policy. So, it's always safer for you to check with your domain registrar before you register. Clear?)
What if you only realize the typo after 5 days? Then, too bad. You'll have to stick with that misspelled domain name until it expires (the minimum expiry period is one year), whether you like it or not.
There's no way you can edit the domain name. Once registered, it's fixed.
See, you waste money on a domain name you can't use due to its wrong spelling. So, don't take chances. Simply block out 20 seconds or so to double check the spelling of your domain name is definitely the best prevention from making silly mistakes and wasting unnecessary money.
Rule #4: Register NOW!
According to statistics, more than 65 domain names are being registered worldwide in every second.
So, please do not wait. Once you've thought out a good domain name, quickly go grab it before someone else does. Or you'll be too late for the grab.
So, these are the 4 main basic rules you should always stick to whenever you register domain name. They'll help you save time and money, and make life easier for you. Good luck!
