Choosing a Domain Name

Here's a few tips on choosing the right domain name for your business.

Top Level Domains - .co.uk .com .net .org

There are many more choices available than the 4 mentioned above, but for a UK based business, we recommend you stick to these.
.org domains are really only intended for non-profit making organisation's.

Domain Name Length

Domain names can be be up to 67 characters in length, but its best to get the shortest, most memorable name you can find. Sometimes longer domain names made up of multiple words are better for TV and Radio advertising, letsbyacarcom is very easy to remember.

Hyphenated Domain Names

Hyphenated domain names should only be purchased in addition to the non-hyphenated versions. Returning customers will often forget the hyphen and could end up at a competitors web site.

All Best Domain Names Have Already Been Registered

Whilst its true that these days you will need to put in a lot of hard work to find good domain names that have not yet been registered it certainly is still possible.

If you are in a hurry to get the best possible domain name for your online business you may have to pay a premium and buy your domain name from a broker like Sedo.
