Factors To Be Considered While Choosing Domain Name

Choosing a domain name is one of the first and important decisions your are to make at the time of creating websites. Your domain name should be catchy to attract visitors. Before choosing a domain name it is advisable to do some research about it to find out whether the domain name is not trademarked or is used by another company. Choosing the right domain name can make a good impression on the visitor's mind. While unmemorable or extended keyword domain name will keep the visitors away. So choosing a domain name is the first priority before making websites. So, following are the points to be kept in mind while picking the domain name.

1. Readability

The Domain name should be easy to read, easy to pronounce and easy to remember. This makes it easier for visitors to share your domain name by word of mouth. For Eg: Quikr.com or Amazon.com is a domain name with easy pronunciation and easy to remember while Healthinsurancesort.com or Awesomecheapwidgets.com are domain names with lengthy keywords.

2. Concise

You should keep your domain name succinct. It means that your domain name shouldn't be long, the shorter the better. The popularity of the domain depends upon its length. For eg: Google.com, Twitter.com, Cpc.com, Sbi.com- these are short domain names while Citybicyclestore.com is stuffed with keywords. So it is better to keep sharp eyes on the point of choosing a concise domain name for gaining wide popularity.

3. Easy to type

Your domain name should be chosen in such a manner that when your visitors type the domain name they shouldn't face any problem while typing. Avoid numbers and hyphens as number and hyphens are sometimes misunderstood. For Eg: labnol.org or Google.com is a domain name which can be easily typed while Car-insurance-policy123.com or Consumer-electronics.com are long domain names with hyphens that visitor sometimes found difficult in typing and there is a possibility of wrong typing.

4. Search Engine Optimisation

Domain names will have much impact on SEO (Search Engine Optimisation). Using google keyword planner tool you can easily find a popular keyword for your domain name. The right keyword domain name will definitely improve your SEO. The greater the improvement of SEO, the greater possibility of gaining more visitors.

5. Domain name extension

There are many domain name extensions available like dot com, dot net, dot org, dot Edu, dot gov, dot info, dot in, dot jp, dot Uk and so on. I personally recommend dot com domain extension although it is Top Level Domain (TLD) name and is more familiar and easy to remember. In the present days, 75% of the domain name extensions are dot com.

6. Brandable

Domain name stands at the root of your brand. So it is better to choose a brandable domain name that will help your domain to gain easy sight for the visitors. That is why the domain name should be brandable not a generic one as the generic ones lack the capability of earning popularity of the visitors. So is it not always wise to try to choose brandable domain name so that your visitor will not find difficulties in remembering and finding your website?
