Registering a domain name is fairly simple process but for many actually finding a suitable domain name that hasn’t already been taken can be an overwhelming task. Many of the “good” and easily remembered domain names have already been registered and are not available.

Here are a few tips to help when choosing your domain name:

• Try and make your Domain Name easy to remember and easy to spell. If possible choose your exact business name otherwise try and use words that describe your product or service.
• A Domain Name can be up to 63 characters long and can use only letters, numbers, and dashes (-).
• Short Domain Names are usually better than long ones but many of the short domain names are already registered, so if you have to choose a long domain name make sure it is memorable and easy to read.
• Domain Names are not case sensitive. TipsForWebsiteDesign.com will work the same as tipsforwebsitedesign.com.
• If you are aiming to have a worldwide audience be aware of spelling variations for certain words and avoid using them in your domain name e.g. color and colour, center and centre, jewellery and jewelry
