Your domain name is the address of your website on the internet.

It’s what people will type into their web browser to visit your site.

How to choose a good domain name

  1. Your domain name should be short, simple, easy to spell, unique, and relevant to your website’s content. This will help people find your site when they search for keywords related to your topic.
  2. Relevant keywords may be useful to include while selecting a domain name. This will make it easier for users to reach your website when using certain search terms.
  3. Choose a TLD that is relevant to your website’s content and target audience. The TLD is the part of your domain name that comes after the dot, such as .com which is the commonest, .net, .org, etc.
  4. Use of trademarked names in your domain name must be avoided. Using a name that is protected by a trademark in your domain name may result in legal action from the trademark holder.
  5. Before registering a domain name, do some research to ensure that it is available and does not infringe on any trademarks.
